I've been pestering my parents with this question since I was a kid. They said that the brain is trained But I don't believe them and I don't consider chess a sport.

You have a narrow understanding of sport. Sport is a competition to determine the strongest. Chess = it's a sport and a science and an art. And what you call strengthening the joints of muscles, etc. - it's not a sport, it's a physical culture. So do not confuse the terms. Good luck

You have to have strong legs. In fact, the winner is the one who gets kicked under the table during a duel.

Try taking up chess professionally and you'll never ask a question like that again.

Few people know that before competing in chess people prepare themselves physically for a very long time. Weights, dumbbells, trainers, etc. When you play in a tournament you experience tremendous stress, such as in equestrian sports. There are sports where the uninitiated only see the tip of the iceberg. People very often think in terms of stereotypes.
