The story I heard (now apocryphal) is the chess was invented (using live actors as pieces) to allow a prince to explain to his mother why it was necessary to kill his brother on the field of battle. A literal lesson in politics.
Sadly, I can't find the source and Wikipedia says the origins of Chess are debated by scholarly historians.
