Where did the Chess originated?

I think in India.

I believe it started up in Persia, but I'm most likely wrong.

In India, it's well known.

I heard that it was in India. Originally there was no castling and the pawns only moved one square on their first move, hence the origin of the names of the King's Indian, Queen's Indian etc. When the game moved to Europe castling and pawn moves of 2 squares on their first move were added to speed the game up. 

agreed

yes it is originated in India.

nice map! what's the source?

I got it from wikipedia.org...

Because that is a reliable source ^

hmm. I don't know i got this map & share here.

My uncle Gary said he invented chess when he was bored at work one day. 

The map is grossly in error. Look at the 1300 in Spain, for example. Chess was introduced in Cordoba in the ninth century, reputedly by Ziryab.

Origins in India is the best guess, and is the opinion of James Murray, explained in History of Chess (1913), the standard work on the subject. However, China is a possibility, and the hypothesis has its advocates.

i think it originated from persia.

The map is correct but incomplete. Shatranj was brought to Cordoba in the 9th Century by Ziryab. But it came to be called acedrex by about 1100, axedrez by 1200 AD and ajedrez by about 1300 AD.
