Is Heroes 3 a sport, like chess? How does the planning differ?

I don't know, it seems like we're speaking different languages, or maybe one of us is just being really dense. It's obvious that using hints (including computer assistance) is a prohibited action that gives one player an advantage (or victory).

Of course, we're on different levels, but at least I'm trying to get closer to yours. So, there's still a chance. I'll make the next move.

So, in chess, if I understand you correctly, when playing online, one player can use computer assistance, and if the second player doesn't use this assistance, the first player gains an advantage.
And now, here's the question: are you aware of any cases where someone seriously considers online chess games to be a sport? Are there online tournaments where the rules prohibit using computer assistance, and there are penalties for doing so? Does anyone organize serious online competitions with prize pools comparable to those possible in chess today?

For example, Armag is currently hosting an online Heroes tournament with a prize pool of 50,000 rubles.
And another example: people will come to the CIS tournament in Chisinau, and there will also be something like 50-100,000 rubles. That is, the amounts are comparable.
So, in chess, does anyone actually seriously offer online prize pools comparable to live tournaments, where players play in person?
(I repeat, I haven't touched chess for 20-25 years (I used to be a candidate for master and a champion in my region among "kids" (I was 15 then)), I'm not really aware of how things are now, I just stumbled upon this topic today and occasionally check in here and chat with you.)
