This has been discussed before, chess was not born in India, it existed in the pyramids before then the Indians introduced their elephant and as a result it modernized in Europe.
*Indians added their elephant and it later developed in Europe.
There were pyramids before that, you kind of thieving Indians.
I meant elephant, damn it.

Makes my heart bleed when people randomly say chess originated in Bermuda The game of chess has a rich history that can be traced back to the ancient Indian game of chaturanga.
Let me tell you why:
Historical records: The earliest known reference to chess comes from a Persian manuscript called the "Chatrang-namak," which translates to "The Book of Chess."
This manuscript explicitly states that the game was brought to Persia from India during the reign of the Persian King Khusraw I (531-579 CE).
Similarities with chaturanga: Chaturanga, the ancient Indian game, shares many similarities with modern chess. Both games have the same number of pieces (16), the same board (8x8), and similar objectives. The pieces in chaturanga are also analogous to those in chess: the king, the counselor (which later became the queen), the elephant (which evolved into the bishop), the horse (which became the knight), the chariot (which became the rook), and the foot soldier (which became the pawn).
Linguistic evidence: The word "chess" itself has its roots in the Sanskrit word "chaturanga," which means "four limbs" or "four arms."
This term refers to the four divisions of the Indian army at the time: infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariots. These divisions are represented by the pieces in the game.
Spread of the game: The game of chaturanga spread from India to Persia, and from there, it made its way to the Arab world and eventually to Europe.

Scholarly consensus: Most historians and scholars agree that chess originated in India. Prominent chess historians like H.J.R. Murray and Harold James Ruthven Murray have written extensively on the subject, and their research supports the Indian origin of the game.

the evidence strongly suggests that chess originated in India.
The game has a fascinating history that spans thousands of years and multiple continents,
but its roots can be traced back to the ancient Indian game of chaturanga.

Evidence that chess was played in Egypt at least 4000 years ago is found in the reliefs in the pyramids. It was also played in China, Mesopotamia and Anatolia. The game took its current name in India in the 3rd – 4th centuries AD, when the game was called ÇATURANGA.
