@John The brain uses calories too, you know, if you actually use it. XD

John

What's Go?

06 Jul 00:57

Mechanizoid

Yes, Go is a sport. :-)

John

If sitting on a chair for countless of hours is physical, you can call me Arnold.

06 Jul 00:56

Lapatschka

So, Go is a sport, too? :) Just curious.

06 Jul 00:56

Mechanizoid

It requires great physical stamina to maintain mental effort for so long time, da, friend?

06 Jul 00:55

Mechanizoid

We could play it right here you know. e2-e4

06 Jul 00:55

John

Wait a minute. How did chess become physical again?

06 Jul 00:55

Mechanizoid

Da, Chess is good sport!

06 Jul 00:54

Mechanizoid

:D

Reykjavík was just a brief setback!

06 Jul 00:53

John

My bad bro. Chess is a sport!

06 Jul 00:53

John

Wait... you saying you're from a Russian lineage?

06 Jul 00:52

Mechanizoid

ALL RIGHT I admit it, I am Christopher Ivanovitch, and Chess is the glorious sport of my fatherland! You running capitalist dogs can never equal the mental and physical superiority of my people!

06 Jul 00:52

John

Basketball. Fucking Monstars from that looney planet played it.

06 Jul 00:51

John

You know what's universal?

06 Jul 00:51

Mechanizoid

And played by far fewer humans than chess.

06 Jul 00:51

Mechanizoid

Yeah, but Magic the Gathering isn't played by aliens either. XD

06 Jul 00:51

Mechanizoid

pretty damn ubiquitous if you ask me

06 Jul 00:51

John

Earth is not the universe!

06 Jul 00:51

Mechanizoid

played by a good portion of the 7 billion humans on Earth today

06 Jul 00:50

Mechanizoid

Okay, John, universal on Earth

06 Jul 00:50

Mechanizoid

And what other board game has those rules?

06 Jul 00:50

Lapatschka

Thanks Artloader xD

06 Jul 00:50

John

Universal?! Universal? Show me an extra terrestrial life form playing chess and I might just consider it!

06 Jul 00:50

Mechanizoid

Okay, John, you haven't addressed any of the points I raised. How does Chess's long standing, well established rules, and Olympic recognition NOT make it a sport?

06 Jul 00:49

Mechanizoid

I'm right though. :D

06 Jul 00:49

Mechanizoid

Yes we do. XD

06 Jul 00:49

Artloader

They just like arguing :).

06 Jul 00:49

Mechanizoid

but Chess is universal you see
