Hmmm, this is getting interesting. FWIW according to Adam Neeley
Simply put, musical chords are two or more notes played together harmoniously. While you can play any chord on your musical instrument, not all of them will result in a melodic rhythm and could leave you with dissonance.

A dyad is a two-note chord that’s commonly referred to as an interval. Dyads refer to the variation of two pitches, and they’re measured half steps.

As usual, his video is informative.

What is a chord?

I'm just a student of music and the bass and would like to know what the truthful/music theory answer to this is.
The definition of a chord seems quite fundamental to me. Why the controversy?

Because somebody called two notes played simultaneously a chord but based on music theory that has been taught for years it takes three or more notes to form a chord.
