#Is chess a sport?
1 messages ยท Page 2 of 1
From everyones opinions and trying to make my own, (trying to erase my own bias) I believe chess is a sport of the mind, physically, you aren't doing all that much, mentally is a different story. Mentally you are calculating, going to through a mental library of openings, and otherwise you are remembering 100s of lines of theory. Furthermore, many people are making different variety's of other sports in chess (chessboxing etc..) so I consider it a mental sport.
Hey guys its me chat gpt and ermm i just wanted to tell you that Im tired of you

I don't think chess is a sport but then again Canty 
Chess is a sport because i have to move my little hands and now my hands look like this
ok bros hear me out chess isnt a sport lmao a sport requires like actyuall physical stuff and ur not ruinning around the table to capture ur opponents pastor or whatever and also sports players get paid and get all that other good shit like the benefits but what do chess player sget ? nothing. and dont just say hikaru or levy because we all know that levy pays 30 yo s to watch him and hikaru just streams and bots a bit too and magnus is just magnus hes bthe best and every best in the world is gonna get some oney so its not that impressive . either way chess players dont get millions or even thoudands of dollards to represent a team or something and mind you the definition of a sport has to do with team, whether its one person or a lot, you need. A TEAMM oh mb caps lock okay so the only real argument i kinda see is the thing about the gheart rate where llike wesley and i think fabiano were playing and wesleys heart rate was high but i think it wasnt ches i think he was trying as hard as he could to not show the pain from the anal beads in his ass.its either that or his favorite anime got canceled (rip overflow 2019-2020 that hentai shit was next level man frfr) anyway it wasnt chess that got wesley so hot also actuall sports players sweat and move around whens the last time oyu saw someone sweat bc they were worried a pony would take their pope like man at this point its stupid chess is still fun but its just like too lazy compared to all sports and you cant be lazy while playing an ctuall sport unless ur matt leinart or vince young but if ur them then ou can do like anything anyway hess is NOT a sport )that wasntaccidental caps lock that was on purpose) ty for reading mans alr cya bros @junior patio ta ๐ yo edit: ok bros i looked at #reaction-roles and saw a sport chess think but i think they just trying too hard so i wont count it

yess
Well chess is a sport. Straight into the evidence. First of all, the International Olympic Comitee considers it to be a sport. The oxford english dictionary considers chess a "An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainmentโ. Chess does qualify into this category because it is an individual competing against each other for what you could easily call entertainment(or team in case of bughouse). Additionally, although it does not require physical extersion, it does require mental capacity in order to make your moves especially at the highest level. It is just like other sports like football where you form tactics to win the game. The definition of a sport has nothing to do with physical activity so therefore chess would be a sport. (Well maybe a little physical activity with GMs falling out of their chairs).
I taught stockfish how to play chess

Chess is a sport, the definition of a sport is โan activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainmentโ
In chess you compete against another individual and it requires skill, it may not be a sport with physical contact, but it is a sport nontheless

Its a sport in my opinion because
-
Chess requires physical stamina and endurance, as games can last for hours and players must remain alert and focused throughout.
-
Chess requires mental agility and strategic thinking, as players must plan their moves and anticipate their opponent's actions.
-
Chess is a competitive activity that involves tournaments, rankings, and prizes, just like traditional sports.
-
Chess can be physically demanding, as players must sit for long periods of time and use fine motor skills to move the pieces.
-
Chess is recognized as a sport by organizations like the International Olympic Committee and the International Mind Sports Association.
-
Chess is played competitively at high levels, with professional players able to earn substantial salaries through tournament winnings and sponsorships.
-
Chess is broadcasted on television and online, just like other sports.
-
Chess players often train extensively and adhere to strict diets and fitness regimens to maintain peak performance, just like athletes in other sports.
These are just a few arguments in support of the idea that chess is a sport. Of course I could say more.
r u the flash bruh
true discord seems to be hving good changes, like the 25mb uoload limit

good luck VL
Chess is widely considered to be a sport in several ways, and for good reason. Firstly, playing chess requires a great deal of mental endurance, similar to other popular sports like football, basketball, etc.. To remain focused for extended periods and stay alert to the ever-changing dynamics of the game is crucial. Secondly, chess involves a high level of competitiveness, with players battling each other to secure a victory(examples are Hikaru, Magnus, and many other GMs who have careers based off the game). The sport also has a well-established system of rankings, tournaments, and championships. Thirdly, chess players go through similar training regimes to "athletes", which includes physical fitness training, mental preparation, and analyzing past games. All of these factors contribute to chess being officially recognized as a sport by various places(like google).
ty
experience ๐
plagiarism checker is what

i'd argue it only sucked because Discord made it suck, made full nitro seem more appealing

worked for hours on that response
it covers understanding whats written in formal and informal way and stuff like that, so kinda helps know when something is copy pasted or botted
Plot twist this was ai generated
Sad because you have a lot to read :(
I gotta eat dinner now. then I'll read and select best for now. it will stay open for a while. I will check for plagiarism and chatGPT content. make sure to VOTE. IN. POLL.

what about 61??
1190 RPD | 1100 BTZ | 1086 BLT say something
well, old is a relative term, calling 61 wont mean calling old ๐
who would do that ๐
you wont
typing history of chess ๐
i would do that. thats the joke
the word sport in definitions is an activity involving physical exertion and skill in competes against others. Chess is totally consider as a sport cuz it involve with brain exertion and skill of memorize.
doing a lot of math gimme a sec
"hello 1190 RPD | 1100 BTZ | 1086 BLT, how are you?"
"oh I'm good thanks"
you could abbreviate it as "1"
"np 1190 RPD | 1100 BTZ | 1086 BLT"
||
||hi
Chess is abolutely a sport.
69 disagree lol
nice
well anitta goes in interested by default for creating, no one else can be interested after its already started๐
The oxford definition of a sport requires that it must be between two players/teams and requires physical exertion.
If we look into chess from an analytical standpoint, we can see that it absolutely requires physical exertion to play as the professionals play in classical tournaments
lmao
how does one filter club seach for only official tagged ones ๐ค
Though it is also worth noting that the Olympics also classify chess as a sport
The Olympics have been the benchmark/standard for human sport for decades upon decades
chess is not a sport because en ๐ฅ and athletes are on strict diets that dont include ๐ฅ
that is just so dumb ๐
๐
i think chess is like taking a really long exam
and if chess is a sport so is sudoku and crosswords
ngl i been asking my self why is chess a sport before this happens
Chess is NOT a sport. Sport is an acronym for Specificity, Progression, Overload, Reversibility, and Tedium which cannot be put into chess. These are things that require you to be good at a sport. To do a sport you need a physical workout, moving your arm in NOT a training type. So when discussing if chess is a sport, by DEFINITION it is not.
if chess is a sport black holes are alive according to my argument
Sport is not an acronym
very logically sound trust

How about bullet chess?
Sport is not an acronym. Also, we need to decide where to draw the line
Building onto the original "satire" comment on Chess's Hand Cardio, each piece weighs roughly 41.6738 grams and each chess square is roughly 5.08 centimeters. Using an average of 40 moves per game, with the average move being between 10.16cm (2 squares straight) to 21.55cm (3 squares diagonal), we can estimate that chess pieces are moved roughly 406.4 to 862 cm per game. 1+0 Bullet games (the most physically enduring matches) give each player 1 minute, with players moving pieces anywhere between 1 second to 0.1 seconds, meaning they average hand speed of each player is anywhere between 6.7733 cm/s to 140.366 cm/s, with an additional 20.32cm/s to account for timer hits (assuming the piece is about halfway across the board), giving us speeds of around 27.0933cm/s (0.270933m/s) to 160.686cm/s (1.60686m/s). With these numbers we get an estimated 1.129-6.696 newtons per move, or roughly 45.16 to 267.84 newtons total. The amount of newtons total is about the force of 27.33kg, meaning that on average a chess player lifts about the weight of 3 shotput balls in the span of a minute (shotput atheletes are given about 30 seconds a throw) therefore chess is more physically enduring than an olympic level sport and should be considered a sport.
well chess doesnt fall in the exact world as sudoko and crosswords, more like carrom, maybe table tennis nd such
if chess had weighted pieces, would it be considered a sport?
Ye idgaf,
sport comes from disport
Sport is an acronym, ur wrong ๐คทโโ๏ธ
which is an old word that means to have fun with an activity. a passtime/something that isnt work
I learn abt it in school, i doubt you do
do i post my answer here ._.
This is worth noting, though we can't base our definition off of the word's origins
yes v! but only if you voted on the bot poll
Onee twoo buckle my shoee three fourr buckle some moree five six nike kicks

okay
love me some etymology
fr
annitta:- says chess is not a sport
goes on to give etymology reference to epxlain how its a sport
porter in french is a carrier. desporter. carries away. 
For the people who say that chess isn't a sport: Would chess be considered a sport if all of the pieces weighed 20 kg?
Got it
but that would just be fancy weight lifting
now, where do we draw that line
exactly
does grammar matter๐ญ
you can't say it's a sport cause you lift stuff
What I'm trying to prove is that chess requires physical exertion however
hooray
yea
okay time to write a lot
not even needed, put some effort, be creative, vote on poll, you're in ๐
ofc not lol. i like my own writing style

hello im back
hello
I've been a mod for a while
but if u lift and perform actions in a defined way to compete, then its a sport
whatโs the average reading words per minute
๐ฃ๏ธ
And it's also worth noting that playing chess can create physical fatigue at the top level
but then like
soccer you dont lift anything
yeah but that's cause of stress
so can a really hard exam
anyone tryna read allat
iโm gonna write an essay
it can also be physical. Have you ever seen crazy armaggedon matches in time trouble?
that was for v
ok but is overwatch a sport
Yes, it's an esport
go take a test then๐
have you seen me doing math when the time is about to end
here's a more serious question, if people claim chess isn't a sport, is chessboxing half of a sport?
So by your definition, archery isn't a sport
Yes but in archery, you're not really exerting yourself physically all that much
chess is a game
Archery is a sport of precision, so is chess
yeah but my point was that the physical exertion is not the defining characteristic
so is chessboxing half a sport half a game???
soccer is a game.
wait hold on, i have an idea, what if you guys made a website where you could play chess ONLINE?
WHOAH
wait
omg
you're onto something
that is true
yeah but what if we harassed the promoters of the website too
we could become the biggest in the world

A "sport" specifically refers to an activity that involves physical exertion, while chess is more of a mental game. There are other definitions of "sport", but in this circumstance, we are talking about definition 1 in the image attached. Some may argue that sport doesn't specifically refer to activities requiring physical exertion, but I do not
Yes but I still talk eng with some people from Canada and i am not in my state so I need to talk in English with other peoples too! Because India have lot of language ๐ตโ๐ซ
The definition of sport is "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment." Chess involves physical exertion(mental exertion counts) and requires skill. An individual or team competes against others for entertainment. Chess = sport
Yes it is
no ding role, no opinion

Chess is often considered to be a game of the mind, rather than a sport, but many experts argue that it should be classified as a sport. The game requires a great deal of mental and physical endurance, as well as strategic thinking and planning. Additionally, competitive chess players must adhere to strict rules and regulations, and they often train for hours on end to improve their skills and performance. In this essay, we will explore why chess should be classified as a sport.
Firstly, chess requires a great deal of mental and physical endurance. Competing in a chess tournament can be an incredibly intense experience, with players sitting in silence for hours on end, deep in thought. This requires a great deal of concentration and focus, which can be mentally exhausting. Additionally, many competitive chess players engage in physical exercise to maintain their stamina and endurance, as well as to clear their minds and reduce stress.
Secondly, chess is a highly strategic game that requires a great deal of planning and forethought. Successful players must be able to anticipate their opponent's moves and adjust their strategy accordingly. They must also be able to analyze the board quickly and accurately, which requires a great deal of mental agility and problem-solving skills. Additionally, chess players must be able to make quick decisions under pressure, which can be challenging and stressful.
Thirdly, competitive chess players must adhere to strict rules and regulations. The game is played on a standardized board with specific pieces, and there are strict time limits for each move. Additionally, players must follow a strict code of conduct, including maintaining silence during play and adhering to a dress code. These rules ensure that the game is fair and competitive, and they require players to be disciplined and focused.
Fourthly, competitive chess players often train for hours on end to improve their skills and performance. This training can include studying chess theory, analyzing games, and practicing specific moves and strategies. Additionally, players may engage in physical exercise and meditation to improve their mental and physical stamina. This intense training regimen requires a great deal of dedication and discipline, which are also traits commonly associated with athletes.
In conclusion, chess should be considered a sport due to its demanding physical and mental requirements, strategic gameplay, strict rules and regulations, and rigorous training regimen. While it may not involve physical exertion in the traditional sense, it requires a great deal of endurance, concentration, and quick decision-making. As such, chess deserves recognition as a legitimate and challenging sport that requires both physical and mental skill.

Chess is recognized as a sport by the International Olympic Committee. While chess may be considered a game by some, it is also a competitive activity that requires strategic thinking, physical and mental endurance, and intense concentration. Chess players often train for hours each day, participate in tournaments, and compete for prize money. The World Chess Federation, which oversees international chess competitions, also recognizes chess as a sport.
this is since MARCH 26TH
wat
only

Anitta do you like daily chess? ๐
ok then
I suck at daily chess
Ah same 
i just make a move in like 20 seconds any way ;(
I do in 4 sec it's sad :(
imagine being good at daily chess
rebut this essay
-
chess absolutely requires mental endurance, and high levels of concentration for long periods of time. but it's a stretch to say that because lots of chess players exercise to clear their minds, chess itself is physical. it's not. that would be like saying that listening to podcasts is a sport because people do it whilst working out.
-
quick thinking and reactions are a part of chess, but this does not indicate physical activity. mental agility is not a subset of physical agility. these skills are completely independent of anything physical.
-
the presence of rules doesn't mean something is a sport. my school has rules, does that mean i'm an athlete if i'm good at maths? no, it doesnt. a dress code and a code of conduct are not relevant to the topic.
-
this is largely the same argument that is used in the first paragraph, and is still not a valid reason for chess being considered a sport. dedication and discipline are requisites for extreme success in any field, not just sports and chess.
professional chess is demanding, but since it never extends into the physical domain, to call it a sport in the same regard as physical sports would be misleading.
I decide my move in like 10 seconds and chat with the opponent till one of us time out
๐
and then theres daily chess puzzles
Damn some people are writing essays ๐
did yall vote with the bot
Chess is not a sport (
). I believe that chess, being on the same plane as many sports in terms of popularity, competitions, and community, still can't be a sport simply because it is a battle of the mind, not the body. That being said, the sheer number of calories my brain burns through trying to figure out why my fellow 900 rated opponent just hung a bishop in broad daylight could easily compare to playing a sport... so
. Chess boxing is definitely a sport tho, right?
(someone please tell me my brain is broken)
you gotta vote or essays wont count lol
u r gonna make me unvote again ๐
i voted 
lmfao
well u never know if bot took ur vote the previous time or not ๐
test until number goes up

nah thats just a guide
for other users
i finished

ah ok

i wanna do this in one go
i did it again ๐
gotta time it right
cnt when multiple people doing it ๐
we gotta surpass the numbers in knights v bishops
my fingers need a break
Well i do think it is a sport in a certain extent. But not as 'equal' as other sports. Considering esports such as league of legends is being considered a 'sport' in the asian games, chess is certainly a 'esport'
fair enough
okay here we go
Why Anitta not pinned some answers?
Many across the world have been debating whether to consider chess a sport or not. There are many protests why chess is a sport, but a larger majority believe to consider it as a sport. Chess is most definitely a sport. It requires skill and for one to compete. Chess could also involve teamwork. Chess also has room for improvement, as it works the mind like how swimming would work the lungs and arms.
In some cases, chess can be considered a sport, as a sport defines as โan activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or a team competes against another or others for entertainment.โ (definition from Oxford Dictionary) Chess does not involve physical exertion, however it does involve much skill, thinking, and strategy. Skill comes through knowledge, which comes from the brain. Working out the brain will give many benefits to the human body, making people live much happier and healthier lives. Sports make you healthier, but physically, whilst chess works out the body mentally. Therefore, chess is considered a sport.
To add on, chess would be considered a sport because sports involve teamwork. Take the Pro Chess League as a great example. One teammate depends on another to win a game and earn a point. In football, same rules apply. Each member is a valuable asset to the team. The objective is still to win. A website wrote โa sport that involves competition between teams of players.โ (another definition written by vocabulary.com) Each teammate would contribute, making another reason why chess is a sport.
Furthermore, chess is most definitely a sport because of all the years of training it takes to truly understand the concept of the sport. Many grandmasters require years, or even decades of training. Even with all the knowledge, there are still yet many ways to improve, much like a sport. Take the top ten soccer players as an example.
big words
Good job v!
furthermore 
They have had over half a decade of training, and yet there is still plenty of room for improvement. Chess has many theories and knowledge players need to memorise, making the training perhaps much harder than most sports. Mental health is just as important as physical health in chess, too. Being able to endure long periods during tournaments is practically as hard as physically training for a football match. Chess needs training like how a sport would, therefore is considered a sport.
On the contrary, many may argue that sports need to be physical. But as explained before, sports consider skill, too, thereby making chess a valid sport.
To finalise, chess is a sport because it involves tactics, skill, training, and even teamwork, just as any other sport would require. The lack of attention chess gets as being considered a sport is too little, and many more need to consider chess as a sport. Sports do not have to be only physical activity. Many involve planning techniques out, like chess. Many more people should consider chess a sport. Just because the game is lacking physical exertion does not mean itโs lacking the qualifications to be a fine, competitive sport.

Chess is a sport that requires strategic thinking, physical and mental endurance, and intense concentration. While some people may view chess as a game rather than a sport, the International Olympic Committee recognizes chess as a sport, and the World Chess Federation oversees international chess competitions.
First and foremost, chess requires strategic thinking. Players must think several moves ahead and anticipate their opponent's moves. This requires a great deal of mental agility and strategic planning, much like other sports such as soccer or basketball. Chess players must also be able to adapt to unexpected moves and quickly develop new strategies.
In addition to strategic thinking, chess also requires physical and mental endurance. Chess matches can last for hours, and players must maintain their focus and concentration throughout the game. This requires a great deal of mental stamina, as well as physical endurance to sit for long periods of time.
Furthermore, chess is a competitive activity. Chess players often train for hours each day, participate in tournaments, and compete for prize money. This level of competition is similar to other sports such as tennis or golf. Chess players also have rankings and ratings, which are used to determine their skill level and place in tournaments.
Finally, chess has a long and storied history. The game has been played for centuries and has been enjoyed by people from all walks of life. Chess is also a game that can be played by people of all ages and abilities, making it an inclusive and accessible sport.
Sending part 2 since discord has a text limit
well i mean non concluded, right??
idk yet
cause no result?
I still have membership for some days 
there were results!
no indent
I announce them 

Some people argue that chess is not a sport because it doesn't require physical activity. Unlike traditional sports such as soccer or basketball, chess is played while sitting and doesn't require any physical exertion. However, while chess may not be physically demanding, it does require physical endurance to sit for long periods of time.
Another argument against chess being a sport is that it doesn't require the same level of athleticism as other sports. While it's true that chess doesn't require the same level of physical skill as other sports, it does require a great deal of mental agility and strategic thinking. Chess players must think several moves ahead and anticipate their opponent's moves, which requires a great deal of mental stamina.
Finally, some people argue that chess is not a sport because it doesn't have the same level of physical risk as other sports. In sports such as football or hockey, players risk injury every time they step onto the field or ice. While chess doesn't have the same level of physical risk, it does have a high level of mental risk. Chess players must be able to maintain their focus and concentration throughout the game, which can be mentally taxing.
In conclusion, while some people may argue that chess isn't a sport, it does require physical and mental endurance, strategic thinking, and competition. While it may not require the same level of physical skill or athleticism as other sports, it is recognized as a sport by the International Olympic Committee and the World Chess Federation.

Chess is a sport
. Before I explain how, Ill explain what a sport is first.
A sport counts as ALL physical activity and activities that help physically and mentally. This means not only the famous ones like basketball, soccer, tennis, etc is a sport, but so is the not-so-famous ones like boating, curling (Curling is a sport in which players slide stones on a sheet of ice toward a target area. <-- This is from google because Idk how to explain what curling is lol), etc. But how does this make chess a sport?
Chess is considered a sport because of how its imporves mentally (which is what sports do) and also exercises the mental wellbeing of the person thats playing it. The International Olympics also have considered it a sport.
So in conclusion, chess is a sport, not a physical sport, but a mind sport.
Chess is a sport because why not
It is not a sport. Chess is a competition with clear winners and losers, but it lacks physical athleticism. The massive brain power needed to play chess is present, but it is still not a sport.
Ok, so first, I personally think chess ISN'T a sport, when people think of sport, it physically challenges you, getting EXERCISE physically, what do you exercise in chess? Fingers lmao. People are saying that it challenges the mind, but under the definition of Sport it implies that "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment." Which backs up out arguement on why Chess ISN'T a sport. It's more of a Board game.
@junior patio is it ok if i edit my text a little or i have to submit a new one
chess burns calories, it has competition like sport and chess also requires sportsmanship
true definition is physical exertion OR skill. "pursued for exercise or pleasure" OR pleasure, therefore chess fits the definition of a sport
Many things that take skill aren't sports
Working out the brain will give many benefits to the human body, making people live much happier and healthier lives. Sports make you healthier, but physically, whilst chess works out the body mentally. Therefore, chess is considered a sport.
the brain always physically exercises
not in the way that we know "exercise", rather
making neural connections
so isnt it considered a sport?
In the WCC 1984 Everything was going well, Anatoly Karpov was winning, After 48 Matches Though. The WCC Was sudenly aborted for a while because Anatoly Karpov Lost 10 KG or 22 Pounds, It Turns Out When a Grandmaster is playing a Tournament The GM can lost up to 6000 Calories perday so, I Guess It Is a sport
chess is a sport in my case because you're working out your brain
yeah exactly
Yes it is a sport because there are also chess olympics.
There is a physical exertion. For instance look at bullet games. There you must play fast. So if there would be any time pressure in any game you must be fast with your Arms.
And it does provide physical effort
Furthermore it is counted by the International Olympic Committee as a sport although it wasn't played there due to organization reasons.
