Yes. This is perhaps because we are here referring to a 'logical
correspondence' (in terms of 'rules of projection') that must be
bi-directional/two-way rather than only uni-directional/one-way.

We could say it was either; and we could also say, or insist by definition,
that the yelling and stamping was not chess because, for example, it is
constitutive of playing chess that we move pieces on a board. Here we see an
issue that is really semantic and on which nothing of substance matters.
