Is chess a competitive sport?

Chess is considered a sport in 24 of the 28 member states of the European Union (except for the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium and Sweden). At the 2006 Doha Asian Games, chess became a major sports event for the first time, with men's and women's individual events and mixed team events. By the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, the men's and women's teams will be added. The Hangzhou Asian Games chess event is expected to produce a total of four gold MEDALS.

As for the Olympics, the International Olympic Committee first recognized chess as a potential Olympic sport in 1999. Since then, regular chess tournaments have been subject to an Olympic regulation, such as the establishment of a drug testing system. In 2019, the European Chess Federation launched a lobbying campaign to have chess included in the Olympic program at the 2024 Games in Paris.
