Chess is not a sport!
Although chess is not an Olympic sport, it has its own Olympiad;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_Olympiad
The Chess Olympiad is a chess event which has been officially organised by FIDE since 1927 and takes place every second year. Prior to World War II the event was occasionally held annually. There was also an "unofficial" series of Chess Olympiads which ended in 1976. Although chess is covered in sports sections in many newspapers around the world, it is not included as one of the recognised Olympic sports. However, FIDE is now a member of the International Olympic Committee, adhering to its rules, which means it could become an Olympic event some day in the future, although most knowledgeable observers consider this unlikely.

Every game of Monotony ends the same way - everyone gets bored and quits.
It ends when I land on Mayfair and I knock all the hotels, houses and all the other bits of crap off the table. Then, I throw a complete wobbler ranting about loaded die and have to be sedated.
