In fact during the days of the Roman Empire, a general that leads battalions of armies must be an excellent chess player to make a good war plotter or rather war strategist. I got to learn how to move pieces on chess board during my final year in the university and since then I have gone on to play chess more of a hobby than a sport even though I have gone on a couple of local competition within the state in chess but there a part of me that says it a sport but people consider it otherwise. chess-net.com On many occasions the game has been hugely considered as gentle men game that requires a lot of strategic thinking a moves as well as reading the mind of the opponent.

Even though many argument are still raging if the game can be regarded as a sport or not but it consideration to be included as one of the sporting events in the Olympics by the international Olympic committee can be a pointer and may lay the argument to rest whenever in it played.
