    If you get a circulatory collapse from thinking about how you get the checkmate, then yes, it is sport.

    Other than that is just called "sport of brains/thinkers". I mean, math is probably sport then, too. Normally you define "sports" as something physical which can be seen and I don't think about someone sitting at a chess board and sweating because it is a hard turn.

    Maybe this is chess as a sport and no, I don't mean the battle scene but the game and thinking.
