I'm going to try and make a Venn diagram in text, with instead of similarities in the middle the middle is first.

Chess is considered a Game and not a Sport, it is because,
1. It involves no more physical exertion than lifting a finger.
2. It is a competition for the mind.
3. You can have John Doe walk off the street, and learn Chess and all the good techniques in one hour

Baseball is considered a sport, this is because,
1.It involves a lot of physical exertion, when your not busy being a bench-warmer.
2. Joe Shmoe can't walk off the street and be good at it.
3. It is a game of entertainment.


First takes from the aspects of a game and a sport in a couple of ways,
1. You don't have to be super fit to be in first, but you can't be all flab either, sometimes depending on the machine your using you can "feel the burn".
2. First robotics competitions can be entertaining, but I know many people that come to learn more about robotics.
3. It draws from Chess in that it is a game for the mind.
4. It draws from baseball in that it takes a lot of training.

Now this might be a silly conclusion but it's a conclusion none-the-less.

I propose a hybrid. Since it is neither sport nor game but draws from both types of competition.

It's a Gorte

Or a half sport
