Go depends on intelligence, why is it classified as a sport?

It can be said that this is a problem left over from history. For example, if we look around the world, the level of Go in Japan can be said to be very high, but Go was originally introduced to Japan from China. Therefore, after the founding of New China, China listed Weiqi as a sports competition in order to catch up with Japanese. It can be said that this division is a good thing for Weiqi, because Weiqi can be spread through various competitions, such as the World Championships, the Asian Games and the Olympic Games. ?

Secondly, playing Go is a very energy-consuming thing. If you meet a well-matched opponent, it may take several hours to play a game, and then you need to have strong physical strength to some extent. Then we see that many Go players are very strong now. It is precisely because of long-term exercise that it is not a conflict to classify Go as a competitive sport.

In addition, not only Weiqi, but also e-sports are classified as sports, because it is the most important foundation of a country's export culture, and sports can play a very important role in it. In addition, if we divide Weiqi separately, I believe its popularity is definitely not as good as it is now, so it is reasonable to classify it as a sports event.

In addition, the most important purpose of our exercise is physical and mental pleasure, but also to keep fit. You can also achieve this goal by playing Go, because if you beat others in Go, you will naturally feel happy, so you can achieve the same goal as exercise. Finally, I wish the development of Go in our country is getting better and better.
