Yes I do. Then again I was one of those kids in Chess Club back in grammar school.
We got to the Team States Comp once, my school. We came in low but I enjoyed it. When I got to high school there wasn't a chess club, I wouldn't have joined it anyway.

I don't see why not. Wikipedia calls sports "an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively." Including physical, mental, and motor sports.mikkel wrote:

my definition of 'sport' is that it has to require at least some physical ability .
Otherwise it's just a competitive game.

By that definition, any form of competition is a sport. Hell, playing the lottery is a sport according to that definition.aimless wrote:

Sports are physical. Chess is not.
playing the lottery wouldn't really be classed as a sport because it isn't physically/mentally demanding.
The lottery is classed as gambling. As there is no skill involved.
