Chess was not made in India , that's surtanly not a fact.

I think you'll find these very enlightening. In short, chess was called chaturanga in ancient India, where the Persians were introduced to it. They called it shatranj. Later when the Arabs conquered Persia, they took it up too. From there it went over to North Africa and Spain, then Portugal, Greece and England. Chess as it is today is believed to have evolved in 15th century Spain.

Here's an excerpt of the above article:

"The earliest precursor of modern chess is a game called chaturanga, which flourished in India by the 6th century, and is the earliest known game to have two essential features found in all later chess variations—different pieces having different powers (which was not the case with checkers and Go), and victory depending on the fate of one piece, the king of modern chess. The original chess board was mathematically revolutionary, as reported by the infamous Wheat and chessboard problem. A common theory is that India’s development of the board, and chess, was likely due to India’s mathematical enlightenment involving the creation of the number zero. Other game pieces (speculatively called "chess pieces") uncovered in archeological findings are considered as coming from other, distantly related board games, which may have had boards of 100 squares or more."

And this also argues for the invention of Chess having happened in India:

"[According to al-Masudi's early history of India], shatranj, or chess was invented under an Indian king, who expressed his preference for this game over backgammon. [...] The Indians, he adds, also calculated an arithmetical progression with the squares of the chessboard. [...] The early fondness of the Indians for enormous calculations is well known to students of their mathematics, and is exemplified in the writings of the great astronomer Āryabaṭha (born 476 A.D.). [...] An additional argument for the Indian origin of this calculation is supplied by the Arabic name for the square of the chessboard, (بيت, "beit"), 'house'. [...] For this has doubtless a historical connection with its Indian designation koṣṭhāgāra, 'store-house', 'granary' [...]." (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_and_chessboard_problem )

Very inspiring answer freak......

Hmm, probably correct!!

But I can say 100% correct.!!

Indians are made in India.

Now I wonder who comes from Slutsk (Russia)?

Or from Twatt (UK)?

What if two indians have a kid out of India?
