When was the chess game invented? Who was the smart one which invented it? What was the reason the one who invented it did so? And, how did the first chess board look like? Did the pieces moved with the same regulations as today's days?

Two more questions: How many people are playing chess averagely? In today's era, where {offline...} is chess played the most?
