I think chess is a sport, not so much of the physical exersion but alot more mental there are many professional chess players and I've watched it a few times on ESPN they had this one guy face the world's top chess computer XD which calculates I can't remember exactly how many but it's like so many hundreds of thousands of moves and then evaluates them to see which is best

And the match ended in a draw between the two players if I remember correctly I only watched the computer win one and then the player won one as well, but it was the best of 3 or 5 so they still had a few games to go

yeah i agree with coolness something being physically streneuos doesnt make it a sport theres always a mental element to it thats why theres coaches and training camps, the thing is that in chess that element becomes completly dominant

I played in a team school tournament but that was like 4-5 years ago... I wasnt that good at that time and i was the captain but we didnt make it to top in the overall result... If there's a chance for a tournament again maybe I'll hone my skills again and try my luck lol...
