I believe modern chess can't be credited to a singular person or society due to how its evolved over time, but I could be wrong

AnishAce1

Yea I searched in google as well. It said it originated in india but a single inventor is unknown

Well, the king liked it and so the Indian asked as a prize 1 piece of rice for the first square, 2 for the second, 4 for the third and so and so...

But it came out an enormous amount of rice
