Seriously though, I'm of the opinion that as chess is a competition which requires great skill and practice it is indeed a real aggressive,'vying of the minds ' sport.
Personally speaking I prefer participating in the more rugged outdoor sports, such as playing dominos at pavement cafes, ha.

In many aspects, chess is more real if a sport than football or baseball. So I agree with your position completely.

You won't convince me.
Chess may be very competitive and lucrative.
But it's still a board game.

Does the other player(s) physically try to counteract you while interacting with a shared mechanism?
Example, golf is not a sport, no one is trying to stop you from hitting that ball.
Tennis is a sport.
Bowling is not a sport, baseball is a sport.
Darts, not a sport, football is a sport.
Nascar is not a sport, badminton is a sport.
Chess is a board game.
Are you seriously going to call backgammon a sport? Yahtzee? Checkers? Tic-Tac-Toe? Chutes and ladders?
Anything can be a competition, including spitting for distance but that doesn't make it a sport.
