Why do post video game questions in the boardgame section?

Question

Just because it was originally a board game doesn't mean that it goes here! Put it in the video game section! Monopoly online, scrabble online and chess online are video games, they require a video card in your computer to play them!

Board games have a box with pieces that you play in person with people facing you!

Answer 1

I play chess twice a week over the board at our chess club, I play every day on line, sometime I play over the phone with a friend without a board or computer just keeping track of the moves in my head.  Chess is a struggle between two minds and transcends labels such as "board game" or "video game".
