This is a very arguable question. Chess can always be considered a hobby, because it's an elected pastime that can be played often, and enjoyably.
Although, a lot of people would say chess is not a sport, it actually is considered as a sport by the International Olympic Committee. Some people would disagree with this, as sports are normally required to be physical and entertaining by definition.

Is chess a sport and if so how is it one?
I would say no. According to The Free Dictionary, the definition of sport is: "Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively." Chess is governed by a set of rules. Chess is competitive. But there is no physical activity involved in playing chess. Therefore, chess is not a sport. Same with darts and poker. There is no physical activity with these games, therefore, they are not sports. However, the IOC who governs the Olympics considers chess to be a sport.
