Yes, even in chess tournaments

Finally! someone who understands chess is a sport

Lol

And so is skateboarding and speedcubing. :)

i realize now that was a very bad comment... well you meet new people every day?????????

Hello, I am rather new here, too, still trying to find out what kind of mental attitude people have. And as you can see, TigerLegend agrees with you - i make a fine difference between muscle sports and brain sports. But many people here don't care about details.

Chess is not only a brain sport. The best of chess players are very fit. The best chess player in the world is actually a model.

On the one side: use your brain to keep your body fit - on the other side: use your body to keep your brain fit. And regarding the model: male (probably) or female?

either one

You mean a hermaphrodite? This would be exciting!

That's okay, I agree with you!

As long as they do not abolish castling it should be ok for a transition time in chess. Otherwise - great, let the hooligans continue fist fighting.
