God bless the people who invented chess otherwise we would not get to know about the great thinkers in chess field.
The history of chess can be traced back nearly 1500 years, although the earliest origins are uncertain. The earliest predecessor of the game probably originated in India , before the 6th century AD; a minority of historians believe the game originated in China. From India, the game spread to Persia . When the Arabs conquered Persia, chess was taken up by the Muslim world and subsequently spread to Southern Europe. In Europe, chess evolved into roughly its current form in the 15th century.
