Chester A. Woodpusher. He went by "Chess," and the name stuck to the game he invented.

Wikipedia:
Chess is believed to have originated in Eastern India, c. 280–550, in the Gupta Empire, where its early form in the 6th century was known as chaturaṅga (Sanskrit: चतुरङ्ग), literally four divisions [of the military] – infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariotry, represented by the pieces that would evolve into the modern pawn, knight, bishop, and rook, respectively. Thence it spread eastward and westward along the Silk Road. The earliest evidence of chess is found in the nearby Sassanid Persia around 600, where the game came to be known by the name chatrang. Chatrang was taken up by the Muslim world after the Islamic conquest of Persia (633–44), where it was then named shatranj, with the pieces largely retaining their Persian names. In Spanish "shatranj" was rendered as ajedrez ("al-shatranj"), in Portuguese as xadrez, and in Greek as ζατρίκιον (zatrikion, which comes directly from the Persian chatrang), but in the rest of Europe it was replaced by versions of the Persian shāh ("king"), which was familiar as an exclamation and became the English words "check" and "chess".

No no no, it's all been discussed here

King Tut is the founder and the game we know now was influenced by Ferdinand Magellan and later on by Christopher Columbus...but there are other claims that Amerigo Vespucci have brought the game to the west.
The people here say that the Indians played first and invented it.
I heard from a story that kings would ''fight'' using a chess game to declare who won.
Whoever won the chess game, they would rule the kingdom.

The truth is an offense, but not a sin. Emancipate yourself from mental slavery. There exists people in positions of shadow power that control the cultural narrative of nations by censoring information that their 'politically correct' mainstream media outlets deem offensive. Free speech and the right to self defense are the enemies of tyranny. Censorship is the mindset of weak fascists who hate truth. You can not escape a prison that you dont know you're in. Resist! Be a free thinking INDIVIDUAL!

India or China? (consider the kyosha in shogi which moved like an ancient chinese 'rook'...is the Indian 'rook a development of that?). It scarcely matters.
The correct answer (to ALL properly formulated questions) is. . . THE PEOPLE!
