Chess not covered by BBC Sport??

[honeybee]

Here are some definitions:

Sport: An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.

Game: A competitive activity or sport in which players contend with each other according to a set of rules: the game of basketball; the game of gin rummy.

While nearly all sports can be considered games too, it rarely works the other way.

Unlike soccer etc, chess involves no physical exertion (and sometimes nothing physical at all, it is within the rules that somebody else can actually move the pieces for you).

Basketball is physical, it's played competitively, it's got rules too! But it doesn't fall under Sport?? How come there are Olympic Games, Winter Games, Commonwealth Games which don't include games such as Chess but have sports such as athletics?
