Chess History

Chess has started from India
In India chess's name was shatranj(early name)
Then when the foreign invaders attacked India they started to learn the game
And slowly the Indians forgot how to play the game
Slowly then chess revolved around Middle East, Africa and Europe
Then in the 19th Century, when chess was officially played in many countries like Russia,etc.( I think) The Indians started to learn the game and in the 21st Century Vishwanathan Anand from India came and became the world champion between 2007 and 2014.
