I would say yes, when played in a digital format, same as online card games, pinball, etc.
Just like any video game, chess on chess.com has a point system (a rating system here). It also has league divisions, which is similar to ranks in other video games. And as you get better, you go up into better leagues and get a higher rating. Sounds familiar, right?
So, I would consider chess online as its very own video game.

No chess is not a video game. It’s a board game that can also be represented and played digitally. So is chess ITSELF A video game? No. I honestly think there’s something way off about calling the digital representation of chess a video game. Which one of these is not like the others?
1) Sonic the Hedgehog
2) Street Fighter
3) Chess
4) Halo
1) Sonic the Hedgehog

Lets try again, odd one out:
- Chess
- Civilization
- Factorio
- Dance Dance Revolution
Well, it is obvious which are video games and which is digital dance simulation.
What is your definition of a video game? Any game played on a computer? Yes, chess would count. A fast paced game where mechanical skills (Fast reflexes, steady aim, etc etc) play a large part? No, other than maybe blitz or bullet.
That's an intriguing question! Online chess does fall into the realm of digital gaming, but it's often considered more of an online board game than a traditional video game. However, the lines can sometimes blur depending on how you define video games.
Regardless of classification, online chess offers a fantastic way to sharpen your strategic skills and connect with players from around the world. It's a timeless game with a modern twist!
Speaking of games, have you ever wondered, what is Cash Giraffe? It's a game that's been gaining traction lately for its unique gameplay and features.

Video games are often associated with an interactive world, characters, plots, and chess, despite the fact that you can play online, remains essentially a logical board game. But in fact, it was transferred to a video game, where you can play it on the Internet. In fact, I am now reading a lot about kaszinomagyar.com, is this gambling and can't they be considered a video game? If not, then I am completely confused. I hope someone will tell me.

I guess I agree with you.

Hi Stephen,
I realize that I still owe you an answer from yesterday - how to get to 2000...
So here's what I can tell you:
1) Love the game
2) Want to get better
3) Play games with challenging opponents
4) Try to understand what happened in the game after it's over - try to identify turning points in the game - where things suddenly didn't go so well, or when you suddenly felt great. Try to understand what caused those turning points.
5) Notice common denominators between turning points in several of your games - recognize some weakness(es) in your play. Strive to eradicate them. Notice your mental failings from actual games and strive to repair them.
6) Ask many questions. Find strong players and ask them questions about your games, about your openings, about general things that you don't understand, about notes in books that you don't understand.
7) Watch strong players play. Ask them questions too (within reason, and while showing due respect to their superior skills)
8) Choose books and materials that inspire you, that are fun to read and that can teach you something - everything will do - annotated games, works on the endgame, tactical drills and tests, chess videos
9) Be happy with more modest accomplishments. Be happy when you make 1250, 1300 and 1400. Don't frustrate yourself by immediately wanting to reach 2000.
10) Watch 1600 players play. Appreciate their knowledge and expertise and learn from them too. Ask them questions too - and see when THEY come short on answers...
11) Try to analyze with strong players, observe how they think, how they approach a position - what is important to them and what isn't.
You will make 2000, if you persist long enough. Long enough may be twenty years - or it may be two years. You will see how far and how fast you will go - and before I forget -
12) Join a chess club. There are many strong players in chess clubs, and many people are generous in advice. There are also coaches and lessons available - and these can accelerate your progress by much.
Thanks for info.
