HaHaHa I'm call you all nerds, just because my best friends nerdy little brother said its not lol j/k

Another thing why is this in the "sports" section when chess isn't a sport? Shouldn't this be in the "games" section?

Chess is a sport. It's a sport in the Olympics so it's a sport so it goes in this section right?

no way chess is a sport, it's classified as a "board game"

I would have to agree with Aoi. But I also found a link to prove that it's not a sport cause a "sport" has to be physical for one. Anyway here's the link: http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1115594307.shtml

Cause it is a competitive board game to get the brain working. That's one possible reason.

Yes, unlike other games like Monopoly, Chess requires quite a LOT of brain work

Monopoly wasn't a very good exapmple, you have to calculate money and which lots of land will produce the most income, stuff like that. A game more like Mouse trap or bingo is more like a lesser game, lol.

I was playing chess today and lost all times. Stupid computers, I prefer playing against real people.
