Could we not just say that to be a sport, an activity must entail some kind of physical exertion and be competitive?

A sport must also possess some element of hand-eye coordination and involve some level of physical activity.

Well you got to grab the right piece and place it on the right square. A lot of lost game are due to placing the wrong piece on the wrong square. Talk about the mother of eye/hand coordination!

Lastly, to be a sport, there must be some risk of injury to the participants.

Don't tell me you have never heard of chess-elbow?
