Pitch remains pitch, the specific key is indoor=yes.

You seem to refer to discussion #3039 in carto. The argument there was meant, if leisure=pitch is
used for table_tennis, it could as well be used for chess tables. If we find a better tag for
table-oriented sports, it should apply to both.

wikipedia: "FIDE is a member of the International Olympic Committee, which can be considered as a
recognition of chess as a sport". You should also be careful in arguing with a chess player about
that, some are also trained in Sudoku!

OSM usually starts on a dictionary definition, but has the habit to grow larger than this. What we
need in the end is an agreed denominator for a class of objects, even if that deviates a bit from
colloquial English.
