Is chess a sport?

>>77131224
no

>>77131224
No. It's not physical, so it's a game.

>>77131224
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

>>77131300
I can make a governing body of me fucking your mom

Its the greatest Game but a Game not a sport.

King Autist should stick to playing, whenever he opens his mouth, shit seems to come out of it.

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?

>>77132287
you sound like the autistic one, but youre german so its to be expected

>>77132774
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?

>>77131224
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.

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.
