Chess isn't a sport. Fails on the "Stephen Hawking test".

If Prof Hawking can beat you in competition the game being played is purely mental and sport, by definition, has to have a physical aspect.

Think Squash is a dire spectator sport, ftr. The playing area means it just isn't very conducive to television coverage.
