Chess has never been played at an Olympics. Nevertheless, it is an official sport recognised by the International Olympic Committee. This means that it could be added to the olympic program at any time if the committee wishes. Other examples of sports that are recognised while not being in the olympics are water skiing, karate, and Bowling.
