    Extractions: The Time Traveller Gerald Abrahams and the blindfold exhibition "ABRAHAMS, Gerald (b. 15 April 1907) British amateur who in the 1930s was playing master-chess. At that period he was the most attacking player in England." (from The Encyclopedia of Chess, edited by Harry Golombek, Batsford 1977) In the summer of 1933 Gerald Abrahams had finished in third place in the British Championship, behind the famous player from the Indian sub-continent Mir Sultan Khan and Tylor, but ahead of Alexander, Sir George Thomas, Golombek and Winter. He then spent the 1933-34 academic year (or certainly part of it) in Belfast as a lecturer in law at Queen's University, Belfast. He does not seem to have engaged in much competition play while in Belfast, his only really serious game being a victory over J. J. O'Hanlon on Board 1 for Belfast in the annual challenge match against Dublin on the 24th February 1934. He did however play in a friendly match on the 21st April 1934 between Queen's University and C.I.Y.M.S, winning his own game against W. Minnis. The same evening he also gave a simultaneous exhibition, taking on 12 of the Queen's University and C.I.Y.M.S. players and beating them all. A further exhibition was promised, and on the 21st May 1934, Abrahams this time gave an exhibition of blindfold play at the Belgravia Hotel, Ulsterville Avenue, Belfast. He faced four players - P. J. McMahon, W. Minnis, A. L. Davies and S. Coulson. They were certainly a strong quartet. McMahon had finished equal first in the 1926 Irish Championship, before losing out in the play-off and had won the Williamson Shield (and with it the title of Champion of Belfast) for four successive years from 1926-29. In 1935 he won the Ulster Championship. Davies had finished third in the 1933 Ulster Championship, and subsequently was second equal in 1935 and third again in 1936, before finally gaining the title in 1944. Minnis played for Ireland in the 1939 International Team Tournament (Olympiad) in Buenos Aires and was Ulster champion in 1945. Coulson was the weakest of the quartet, but was probably at the time in the top dozen best Belfast players.

    Extractions: One of my favorite chess players is Sultan Khan, who went by the name of "Mir Sultan Khan". He went to England from India in 1929. (Now a part of what is called today as Pakistan). He returned to Pakistan in 1933. It was his master's wish (Sultan Khan was merely a servant), his master was a Maharaja. In the four years in England, Khan won the British Championship, defeated ex-World Champion Jose Capablanca, and played first board for England during the World Chess Olympiads in 1931 and 1933. You can't get better than that. Here's a quote from a famous Britain chess author: "(1905-1966) Sultan Khan won the British championship in 1929, 1932 and 1933, and represented England in three Olympiads. He had a great natural talent for the game which brought admiration from Capablanca who called him a genius." The great Paul Morphy played for 3 years, 1857-1859. The great Mir Sultan Khan played for 4 years, 1929-1933. How do they do that and be so good ? -Terry Crandall

    Extractions: Time Out An old book Chess Years back, perhaps in 1982, FIDE Master Yunus Hassan gave me a bookAaron Nomzowitsch's "My System". It was the most sensational publication of the late twenties, which transformed chess theory in a very perceptible way. While going through it, I discovered that the book belonged to Dhaka University library. It had been issued to a borrower in May 1937! That was really interesting. I came to know that the DU library had such a book on chess and also that there were readers of "My System" at the university so many years back. I don't know who had actually borrowed the book. It must have changed hands many times before reaching me. I returned the book to Hassan after about two months , but it perhaps didn't find its way back to the library ! I don't know who is reading it now. Perhaps it has finally found a resting place in some bookshelf , seldom noticed by anybody. I don't want to sound harsh, but most players of the new generation have little interest in what a great chess thinker wrote more than 75 years ago.

    Extractions: Chess in Asia has a long history as the game actually originated in this subcontinent and was developed by Arabs, and finally given its modern form by Europeans. But Asians entered the international chess scene rather late. Mir Sultan Khan was the first Indian master to make his mark in the international arena. He was recognised as a world class player but his chess career was very short (1929-33). India had to wait for another 30 years to get its first International MasterManual Aaron. Other Asian nations were not really doing much better in the 1960's. Emergence of Niaz Murshed, the first grandmaster of this subcontinent, was a sensational event. He won the coveted title in 1986 and that also pushed Asian chess a step forward. But the biggest breakthrough came when Viswanathan Anand began to win tournament after tournament at the very top level of world chess. He is by far the best player Asia has ever produced. His successes also inspired other Indians to take up chess professionally and opened the doors for private sponsorship to flow in.

    Extractions: The above quotation comes from pages 326-327 of Simon by David Dutton (London, 1992). Almost wholly forgotten today as a politician (and a fortiori Retrospect (London, 1952). In all, he served under five Prime Ministers: Herbert Asquith, Ramsay MacDonald, Stanley Baldwin, Neville Chamberlain and Winston Churchill. In common with the above-mentioned book by David Dutton, Retrospect Already in October 1923 he had obtained a draw against Alekhine in a simultaneous display in London. See, for instance, page 201 of by L. Skinner and R. Verhoeven and pages 482-483 of the November 1939 BCM . The game-score has not been found. C.N. 2947 quoted from The Times (London), 26 November 1925: Comments and Criticisms (London, 1930): Shakespeare, of course, did introduce it. Indeed, the stage direction in The Tempest , where the scene opens with Miranda and Ferdinand engaged in a game of chess, is one of the very few Shakespearean stage directions that are not immediately and vitally connected with the action, though it explains the conversation which follows. I doubt whether Shakespeare understood chess. At any rate, it is very unusual for two players in the course of their first encounter to address each other thus:

Well, before you start sending us emails to point out Nigel Short's victories in 1984, 1987 and as recently as 1998, did you stop to consider India's Vishy Anand, who competed in the British as a teenager in the 1980s? Since its inception in 1904, at the height of British Empire (remember, when we ruled the globe over our minions?), the rules and regulations - which barely have been revised since - for this fortnight-long event was drawn up, players from as far a field as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh have all had the right to play in the UK's premier chess tournament. Curiously, this has resulted in there being no such title as English chess champion. Viswanathan Anand played in Blackpool 1989 A truly great natural player, Sultan Khan was taken by Sir Umar Hayat Khan (an army officer in charge of the horses for King George V) into his household as a servant in 1926 and only played in Europe from 1929-33 while his master was based in England. Totally illiterate (he couldn't speak English and had to have an attendant write down his score), the amazing thing about Sultan Khan was that he had to learn the rules of chess in Europe, which were different than Eastern chess (pawns could only move one square at a time, for example, and he had no knowledge of any sort of opening theory).
