Ok lets get a bit controversial
1. Is chess an art? no its a game so no grant there
2. Does chess provide support for the disadvantaged no its a game so no grant there
3. Does chess counter debilitating illnesses and conditions no its a game etc
4. Does Chess directly help the disabled overcome their disabilities no its a recreational game...
5. Does Chess provide support for the community, no......
6. Does Chess cure the sick? No...
7. Is chess competitive YES!! Can chess be used to promote Friendship YES!! since it is competitive can it be classed as a sport ? Maybe
Only way I can see it getting grants in the future. I think the amount of cash available to sporting bodies in Scotland alone would surprise a lot of people.
