Hip thrust will build your chest also if you put it that way...or leg press...or leg extension...or calf raise...jump rope...jumping jack...kicking soccer ball...So in conclusion, chin ups will build your chest, because you will have a strong shelf to horizontal press off.
Yeah my comment is kinda stupid, just want to stress out that someone is still need to put hard work to push up, dips or bench press to build strength for the chest muscle..pull up and row variations would build foundation for the pressing muscles express their strength, but we cannot keep increase bench press by doing more pull up/row...we actually need to do more bench if the goal is horizontal pressing strengthHip thrust will build your chest also if you put it that way...or leg press...or leg extension...or calf raise...jump rope...jumping jack...kicking soccer ball...
