MabusIncarnate 02/16/18 2:38:56 AM #3:	I agree with you, but just curious how you label Chess? Is Chess a sport, or an intellectual competition? Where would you classify this event? Is it more along the lines of trivia? I literally have no idea, it's a genuine question. I don't know what Chess is considered. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign Twenty million starving and writhing in pain <cite>MabusIncarnate posted [p:896181276] in Let's ...

Also Golf does not take much if any athleticism While it requires less athleticism, I would never call Golf anything but a sport. I don't consider Poker a sport, i'd put it in the same category as Chess.
