Hmmmm.... too hard to choose from - they're all good to watch. But if I had to choose - probably Chess.... however.....



Did you guys hear that the IOC (Olympic Commitee) rejected a proposal to include Chess in the Olympics, as they said that it is less-of a sport and more-of an intellectual game.


I totally disagree. You use your leg muscles in the 100 metre sprints, your upper body in shot-put.... and you use your brain muscle in chess!!!

See... perfectly resonable!!!


(actually... in retrospect, it may have been the Commonwealth Games committee that rejected it - can anyone clarify this??)

i was reading just the other day that chess was supposed to be included as a trial sport at sydney 2000. But something happened to prevent it taking place, not sure what though.
But i cant see the point of watching a chess game, its not like you can cheer or anything.
Imagine trying to start a mexican wave at a game of chess.
