    If Chess is a game, it should be included in the Olympic Games.

    Anyone saying chess is NOT a sport has not looked the word sport up, and also confused the word sport with athletics.

    Chess, especially at top levels, can be highly strenuous. In fact, chess players have been known to lose weight during their games. (eg - Karpov, after his match with Kasparov in 1984)
    Losing weight does not make chess a sport. 🙄

    You lose weight when you go to the toilet, or would you consider that a sport? 😛

    Chess is a game.
