I think Timur would certainly be in the discussion, he was supposedly a very avid chess player and the Tamerlane chess variant is attributed to him.

It doesn’t outright discuss migration of Western Romans to the East, but it does touch on most of what u/AJ_Lounes mentions above in regards to how the fall of the western empire didn’t trigger a mass migration of citizens to the Eastern Empire.

I just want second everything in this post and recommend Peter Heather's "Empires and Barbarians: The Fall of Rome and the Birth of Europe" to OP, as I think it would help answer his question and is probably my favorite work regarding migrations and power changes during late antiquity and the middle ages.
