Chess isn't a sport but its strategies can be applied to life. But that still doesn't make it a sport.

definitions ..
# 1. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. 2. A particular form of this activity. # An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively. chess doesn't require MUCH physical activity, though it is competitive .. i don't consider it a sport. |

chess is mental and if u play complicated "leveled" games.. u might actually have to stand up. |

Chess isn't a sport, as u state, and the point of u saying that "its for nerds to say they play something" is???- You obviously aren't very open-minded, if u can make that sort of stereotype; which was really uncalled for.

personally, I think it is a sport. you have to work your mind so much harder than any other sport. just because it's not physical, doesn't mean it's not a sport. you still have to strategize and definitely compete.

Yes, it is a sport.
The real definition of "sport" is anything that is different from your usual routine. That is the original definition of the word "sport." That is what we learned in Latin when we were studying derivatives. |

Yea I dont really see it as a sport, if you said it was a sport then video games would have to be a sport as well.

how is it not a sport? there are many different types and chess is an activity with lots of pressure(even though it's not physical) and competition. that's what other sports included such as football, but with physical pressure. der
