I do not consider chess a sport just because it seems more like a hobby.

YESYESYESYESYESYESYES.

Well, actually, I think that it is a sport of the mind. It is a sport, just not a full-body involved one.

Some people have chess as a hobby, but when you get competitive and play in the tournaments it becomes a sport.

It is not a sport to me.

It is more of a competition oriented game.

It's more of a hobby than a sport too.

However, some argue it's a mental challenge, which I guess would make solving rubix cubes a sport too.

No, chess is NOT a sport...it's more of a strategic board game, like Checkers.

I personally, love chess and like to see how others play and what methods they use.

If chess is considered a sport than many other strategic games may/might be considered one. To me chess isn't a sport but I do enjoy playing it. I love seeing how games play out. though like legacyme3 said: it is competitive

Although Chess is one of the greatest games ever, I don't think its a sport. Sports are more physical.

I'm pretty much re-iterating what has been said, but I will state my opinion.

It isn't exactly a sport, rather a mental exercise. Its a good recreational hobby, and takes more brains and natural born talent than any 'sports'. I love to play chess, it keeps you sharp. It just isn't a sport as much as it is a competition. That reminds me...

legacyme3 : When is the next Chess Tourney? I might compete this time.

tj4bigred :

Dunno yet.

Part of the problem is inactivity, too many people take too long to set up a game, and the rounds take 2 weeks to complete =/

I may start one later on.

tj4bigred :

It's not that the PLAYERS are inactive, there are just a lot of weird matchups.

Some people aren't on when others are.

That leads to there being problems =/

Honestly, no. I consider it more of a hobby than anything. It's strategic like a lot of sports, but when I think of sports, I think of actual physical activity.

I think anything that you do for fun and always try to get better at can be considered a sport. There really isn't a specific definition for a sport relating to physical activity.

For example, take fishing. Many people say "the sport of fishing" even though a majority of the time, you're just waiting for the fish to bite. Or how about golf? That's a sport that's broadcast during the big tournaments, and the most you do in that is walking. So really, no one ever said that a sport had to involve running or exercising. You just do it to have fun and be the best you can be at it.

So yes, chess is a sport.
