Is chess a sport?

>>54334407
no

>>54334407
No. It's not physical, so it's a game.

>>54334407
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

>>54334410
I can make a governing body of me fucking your mom

Its the greatest Game but a Game not a sport.

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

>>54334428
you sound like the autistic one, but youre german so its to be expected

>>54334431
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?

>>54334407
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.

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

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

>>54334407
The bar for "sport" is set so low that NASCAR qualifies.

>>54334407

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