If you really think moving chess pieces involves "physical exertion" then you are mad as a box of frogs. Honestly, it ain't what we're talking about.
Gardening is, actually, an extremely good source of physical activity. It can involve a great deal of exertion, and usually much aerobic exercise. But it is plainly nutty of you to suggest it fits the definition as a sport, so I am more inclined to the view that you're on the wind up.
Gardening fit your definition of sport perfectly "An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively".
You could also include Masterchef and the Great British Bake Off as sporting events using that definition.
And "physical exertion" can mean blinking. I'm a scientist, I measure femtograms of substances in biological solution, without setting parameters for the quantity of exertion the statement you made is completely applicable to the act of moving a chess piece.

Not at all. You are relying on semantics to produce an absurd argument, and making yourself look like some remedial pedant who came last with nul points in the school debate, but is convinced he won.
