Since when chess isn't a physical activity? Are you kinetically moving the pieces? Or perhaps verbally telling them where to move?
The fact that chess is considered a mind sport and the mental part behind it has a substantially bigger role, doesn't mean it wouldn't fit into dictionaries description of the word "sport"

Sure would do YOU a lot of good to pick one up... your spelling and concept of words is atrocious. If this helps any, it's a really Good Book.
