That's one of the reason why I like Chess and I was wondering if there are any other sports that allow both genders to compete equally since the most popular sports in the world are usually not the case.
NASCAR!

Hi SteveMP, until we have 1 and only 1 definition of sport this will be forever argubely, according to this site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_sport chess is a sport, but if it's not so be it!
Well technically the Olympics are "Olympic Games", so the events don't have to be sports. But the definition if "sport" has to do with "physical activity"
The International Olympic Committee (through ARISF) recognises both chess and bridge as bona fide sports, and SportAccord, the international sports federation association, recognises five non-physical sports, although limits the amount of mind games which can be admitted as sports.
Although I agree it can be arguably a sport or not.
