Chess was initially invented to give the king more mental exercise.
Chess wasn't invented it EVOLVED
But anyway in India there was a much similar game called chaturanga which formed the base for the modern game we have today
It then travelled to Persia where is was renamed,and given more complicated rules
In the 1200s the game sifted through Europe and began to transform into the morden version
The dude Ruy Lopez developed quite a few of the openings hence the name of the opening RuyLopez also known as the Spanish game(he came from Spain)
