## Description

One question has kept gamers up for years… is chess an esport? 

It's a hotly contested issue and you'll get a different ANSWER depending on who you ask.

So we decided to ask two of the best chess players alive: Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura.

But along the way we realized we might be asking the wrong thing? Maybe the real question is, are all esports just chess?
