Too bad it’s creator isn’t recorded in history it’s definately cooler then other inventions of its time, the wheel for example.

The great historian H.J.R MURRAY Says that it is invented in north-east India by a scholar.

It's pretty clear that the game the evolved into modern Chess originated in India. The names for the pieces, moves, checkmate, etc. in Europe are clearly of Persian origin.  After the game became a big thing in Renaissance Europe, the rules were improved to create a more dynamic game: a powerful Queen, Pawns leaping two squares on the first move, etc.

Chess is a wonderful invention by whoever invented it. Please don't make facts up or pretend that chess comes from india, only because you heard that somewhere. You can believe it all you want but you do not know who invented it.

It was a gift to indians from chinese emperor! At those times china ruled the world but the admitted to the indians that it was not their traditional mind game but something strange introduced by a snake like tricky legit their first worker or engineer

Not much is known

of early days of chess

beyond a fairly vague report

that fifteen hundred years ago

two princes

tough brothers, for a Hindu throne.

The mother cried,

for no one really likes

their offspring fighting to the death

she begged to stop the slaughter

with every breath

but sure enough one brother died.

sad

beyond belief

she told her winning son

"you have caused such grief

I can't forgive

this evil thing you've done"

He tried to explain

how things had really been

but he tried in vain

No of words of his'

could molify the queen

And so he asked

the wisest men he knew

the way to lesson her distress

they told him he'd be

pretty certain to impress

By using model soldiers

on a checkered board

to explain it was his brothers fault

they thus invented chess

Not how I actually think chess started, just a W song.

Chess was made in India and got refined as the centuries passed and it got spread to other countries, transforming it into the game we love today. I also think I heard somewhere that in the orginal Indian version of Chess, a modern engine ran and found that white has a forced checkmate from the starting position. sad.png
