If I had to choose it would be Ronald Handel, but I haven’t read Exodus enough to know.
I do believe it happens during the time of a Hyksos Pharoah before they were ousted by the Egyptians, which would put the date around 1550BCE.

HISTORY OF CHESS
Findings at the Egypt pyramids provide us evidences that the chess was being played 4000 years ago from our present day. The archeological excavations carried out at different times also provide us findings that the chess was being played in China, Mesopotamia and Anatolia.At the excavations carried out in today’s Turkmenistan, finding of chess pieces determined to be belonging to 150 AD and Kushan Turks gave rise to claims that the chess was firstly being played by Kushan Turks and taken to India by them.
First written documents about chess are the Sanskrit texts written at the time of Indian Emperor II. Chandragupta around 3 – 4 AD. In these texts the game is called as ‘Chaturanga’. Around 600, the game’s latest version of rules are thought be settled at Punjabi area and in the same century chess is thought to have been started to be played by the name “Sat-RanChu”.
