Chess is a game. Those others are just activities and as you see time is not a critical element when you need to make an action. If you can drink a beer and have a smoke while you're doing it, then you are not participating in a sport. Sports are athletic encounters between two opposing factions where the objective is to beat the other team within a given time period or frames. The main difference is that athleticism is required for sports. A 400 pound man who gets out of breath while he moves may excel at activities but will do poorly in sports.
