When and where in the world was chess invented, i'm sure someone will know the answer, oh yes and how long ago
Do a net search on "the history of chess" or other key phrases... you will come up with tons of info.

according to one site Chess was played many centuries ago in China, India, and Persia. No one really knows for sure in which country it originated. Then, in the eighth century, armies of Arabs known as Moors invaded Persia. The Moors learned chess from the Persians. When the Moors later invaded Spain, the soldiers brought the game of chess with them. Soon the Spanish were playing chess, too. From Spain, chess quickly spread throughout all of Europe.
