banananor 08/16/22 10:48:27 AM #16:	i'm sure there's an official answer, but i have my own headcanon definitions. to me, a sport a) has a component of physical interaction, and b) involves playing against a specific opponent you have to respond to strategically if you have A without B, you have something like the high jump, 100 meter dash, or shotput events- pretty much anything you'd traditionally associate with the olympics. Golf and bowling fall into that category as well. I'd call these athletic competitions, but not sports. if you have B without A, you have something like chess or competitive starcraft. I'd call these something- competitive games maybe- but not sports the lines do get blurry, though. maybe chess and starcraft are a sub-category of sports that subtracts the athleticism portion --- You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured. <cite>banananor posted [p:967345453] in Does chess...

Chess at a high level can be exhausting. Keeping focused that long is something that needs training. Like okay yes Chess requires less athleticism than say soccer, but I'd argue so does baseball.

Long distance running you see runners speed up or slow down at different points in the race as part of their strategy.

Emeraldegg 08/16/22 4:28:33 PM #27:	FWIW I think all of those "single player" sports aren't 100% single player, you are still in competition with other people and there are scenarios where certain outcomes affect how you play. IE if you're up by 2 strokes on the final hole in golf then you may dial it back, as opposed to pushing hard for a birdie on 17 down 1, etc. Just because the competitors are not directly, physically influencing your interaction with the ball doesn't really mean they have no effect on you. --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss <cite>Emeraldegg posted [p:967352841] in Does chess...
