In which country did chess originate?

While the exact time and place of chess's origin is debated, most scholars believe it was developed sometime around the sixth century A.D. It is a descendant of a game called chaturanga, which was commonly played in India during that time. (Chaturanga is derived from a much older Chinese game.) The name chaturanga is a Sanskrit word that refers to the four divisions of the Indian army, including elephants, chariots, cavalry, and infantry. These pieces became the basis for the four types of pieces in the game. Two of the key similarities between chess and chaturanga is that different pieces have different powers and victory is based on what happens to the king.

italy

well i think that the original version of chess was actualy
made by the people from india of today. the newer version of chess
was developet in Italy and England. i belive that italy is the real
origin of the modern chess game. after the changes in the game
there were made by italy and england the only reference that i know
is the first world championship that was held in London in about 1800
to maximum 1900. and the winner was a german, and that is the only
contribution of the germans to the game. they just won it, they didn't
make any new improvements or something..
good luck and have nice day on mylot!!!
