Chess is a game, not sport.
See wikipedia description...
Chess is one of the world's most popular games; it has been described not only as a game but also as an art and a science. Chess is sometimes seen as an abstract wargame; as a "mental martial art", and teaching chess has been advocated as a way of enhancing mental prowess

Darthvader, chess is a recognised sport and there were talks to include it into Olympics.

BTW, ACS had produced quite a number of chess players with reasonable standards and represented Perak regularly.

Anyone in the forum play chess?
