The Nog World Chess champion Magnus (or Cro-Magnus as I like to call him) Carlsen recently ran off with three awards at the annual Norwegian Sports Awards Ceremony. Which I thought was weird. How can Chess be a sport? There is absolutely no element of physical movement of any degree of difficulty or challenge involved?
Discuss.
DISCLAIMER I respect both the activity Chess and Carlsen immensely.

He accused me of cheating and then moved the pieces around the board when I went to get the adjudicator. Little f**ker - of course since the pieces were in a position that was impossible and I had written down all the moves I was given the win,
I once managed to end up in stalemate when I had two queens though - that was less impressive

normally they would be by the tables but because of Usain Bolt like speed they were't hence I had to get on. It was the typical cheating proddie school that was entirely in the wrong, guns

I am not as good at chess as I'd like...this whole planning ahead thing is not my style.
