Default chess = sport?

to some people, chess is a sport
i don't think its a sport
maybe a sport of the mind but not a real sport
sports require physical activity

what do you guys think?

I consider chess a "real sport".
However, it's definitely not going to be on the Olympics or anything.

Def. from Dictionary.com :
an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.

Chess is a competition, so it's a sport ^^

Chess is definitely not a sport, just like those World Series of Poker shows are not sports either.

Sports require more movement besides just your hands. And I agree with the Poker part.

lol. I guess it depends on how you look at it. For me, poker is not a sport just because you don't have control of the cards, whereas Chess you do. But it seems I'm one of the two Pro Chess-Sport in the forum so I'll hush up.

Though, I know I'm right ;D lol.
