Although chess contains a lot of thinking about strategies just like a sport does, it does not involve a lot of physical movement which makes me believe it is not a sport. If you look this question up on Google, it will say chess is not considered a sport.
it was only hypothetical

Yes, chess is a sport. Although chess does not require intense physical activity, the mental skills used in the game requires a good physical condition. Firstly, chess is a competitive game, all sports are competitive, also, it has clear rules, just like all other sports, there is a specific behavior code that all players must follow, it is played in all countries across the globe, which means chess is a well established game, with a global ranking, international and national championships.
So yes, chess is a sport. Even if you disagree, the main international sport organizations, such as the International Olympic Committee, recognize chess as a sport.
