Are we calling chess a sport? In that case why not magic the gathering or black jack

    I read something about how some grandmasters think so hard that they burn as many calories as pro athletes. Their brains are going so wild that it can cause extreme fatigue and the shakes.

    That’s a pretty dumb measurement. Tons of people get in the zone when high. I’m way better at soccer after getting high.

    Sport should be a physical thing. If you can play the same game online (chess) then it’s not a sport.

    Esport? Sure. Still not a sport, same way an email isn’t a piece of mail.
