Message: [QUOTE="seghill, post: 3241061, member: 15717"] I doubt if card games, board games or internet games can be considered as sport. They are now recreations with, at times, considerable value as prizes. The problems come when regulating bodies in the Government have a limited view and decide only "sport" is important to people. As with most recreations the ability of most people to concentrate for long periods depends on their physical well being and therefore physical fitness can be a deciding factor. Sure there are exceptions but in general fitness will play a part in the overall results. Tiredness will affect the decision making and in the end can result in a loss of a game, whether chess, cards or internet games. [/QUOTE]
