no

No. It's not physical, so it's a game.

Yes. It is internationally recognized as one.

ANY definition of /sp/orts you have MUST include chess and snooker. They are sanctioned by a governing body, thus making them a sport and not a folk game like 8 ball.

More than baseball

I can make a governing body of me fucking your mom

Its the greatest Game but a Game not a sport.

Yes it is a sport

Nigger: The Post

If women and men are equal, why chess has gender segregation?

ur hanging in ur crib playin board games at the highest lvl when dis bitch slaps ur ass and defeats humanity what do?

you sound like the autistic one, but youre german so its to be expected

...

chess does not have gender segregation in open tournaments where men play.

it does have sexist tournaments where men can't enter though so theoretically women can earn more from being chess players than men.

Who is the most attractive chess player?

Personally? Yes. To be a sport it has to:
>Be played competitively
>Be governed by a ruling body like an organization or league
>Have supporting institutions like youth leagues that feed into major leagues. Coaching staff. Spectators.

All sports are also games if you play them recreationally with your friends at a park, but sports become sports when they become formally organized.

Is a queen a athlete?

I like chess but no. Boxing is a sport. Chess is a game. Game is not an insult btw.

If a computer can beat you at it, then it's not a sport.

Obviously Sopiko. No other answer is acceptable.

Golf and baseball are sports
What's your point?

Fucking newfag mods. Chess has been an old part of /sp/.

LoL and Starcraft are sports, so why not?

We are aware that you're a professional motherfucker, user. No need to go bragging.

Can you get a letter on your jacket for playing it in high school. If yes, then sport.

The bar for "sport" is set so low that NASCAR qualifies.

No. The optimal strategy is not known and the deciding factor is not physical execution. It retains its status as a game.

there are more qt chess players than vollyball or curling
