                                      Chess is the game whose inventor is anonymous. Many stories are there for the invention of game chess. Some say that Indian mathematician named Sessa invented the game chess. Some say that it had been invented in the country England and on and on... but it doesn't matter because it is one of the most reputed game in the World. Stories tell us that it was invented more than 5000 years age, I dont know how much true it is ? Much people like to play chess, but they are playing as their profession also ! It doen't matter who invented it, but the man who invented it must be a good thinker and we should thank him for this. If anybody know something about chess's invention he may tell to others by posting a comment.

Such an ancient game drags behind lot of stories and legends. A legend I know has it invented in China. The emperor was sad and he had no drive for life when a man came along with the chessboard and taught him the game.

The emperor was enthusiast about it and promised the man to fulfill whatever rewards he wanted.

The man said to take the chessboard and put a grain of rice in the first square, two grains in the second, four in the third and so on until the sixtyfourth.

The emperor was surprised for this humble request, but when he realised that the whole rice of China whouldn't have been enough to fulfill it ... ehm ... he had the man beheaded Tongue out
