Is Air Bud an athlete?

I would not consider it a sport.

Question; Does anyone know if there was ever a card issued of a chess player named Anatoly Lein? Don't think he was very famous. I worked with his wife in the early 1980's. I know they both passed away about a week apart some 4 years ago.

No cards on Ebay.

First, I am a long time chess player and amateur follower of chess. I also
own a handful of cool chess cards. Is chess a sport? NO. It's a skill- a heck of
a skill, but a skill. Want to make a golfer mad? Tell them it's not a sport (which
it isn't). Same for auto racing. GREAT skills, NOT sports though. Doesn't
devalue them either, just defines them. Blast away! Trent King

For the purposes of this section of the forum...I think it's safe to show off your chess cards here.

I was once told that any competition in which you could drink beer while competing was not a sport.

How much beer you could consume and still compete might be considered a sport though for some.
