It has been conclusively proved that chess was invented in India or somewhere else sometime before or after 200AD.

I'll never understand why people keep on asking trivia questions on these forums when there are search engines who can answer these questions much quicker and more reliably.

I can quite easily imagine that chess (or the first games resembling chess) was played since the days people discovered music.

A couple of cavemen drunk on fermented berries were sitting around pushing pebbles around in the dirt.   That was chess version 0.0001 Everything after that was incremental development of the game.
