The origins of chess is one of the most controversial areas of board gaming history. Countries which, at one time or the other, have been associated with invention of chess include China, India, Egypt, Greece, Assyria, Persia, Arabia, Ireland, and Uzbekistan. Many countries claim to have invented the chess game in some incipient form. The most commonly held belief is that chess originated in India.  The earliest mention of chess appears written in circa 2,000 BC.
