my initial hunch would be to say that in no way is it a sport. it is clearly a game. It is a sport for the mind. Let's see what the dictionary says. In relation to game/sport it says about sport: 1 a.Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. .A particular form of this activity. 2. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively. 3. An active pastime; recreation. these are all active, using muscles and the body. the same dictionary (uh, dictionary.com) doesn't really have anything useful. But chess is a game. _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

I've been asking on MSN. Well, my name is "Is chess a game, or a sport? answers on a postcard..." (And yes, that comma was intended to be there), and one dude PMed me with "it's neither". I got there too late to ask him why. _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

i guess it could be considered a sport since sports require tactic and strategy and chess definitely encorporates that..but then again it could be considered a game because most sports require some type of physical exursion. i guess its just a matter of how you look at it _________________ thats why you don't leave the air conditioner on. |

I don't think chess is a sport. _________________ Power is only pain It’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.

Every definition of sport that I find claims that a sport requires physical activity. Chess doesn't require any more physical activity than using a remote control or playing cards, so I'd just classify it as a game. |

Physical activity - using one's muscles Picking up a Queen and knocking over a Bishop with it - using one's muscles Chess - a sport _________________ If the end of the world has proper noodles I'll probably be okay with it. |

any game that can be played by a computer is a game, not a sport. It doesn't require physical activity. |
