9. Mir Sultan Khan, Asia's First Chess Grandmaster Features a biography of his chess career and lists some of the legends about thisplayer. http://www.ishipress.com/sultan.htm

Mir Sultan Khan by Ismail Sloan One of the most interesting and important personalities in chess history was Mir Sultan Khan. He was brought from India to England in 1929 by his master, a maharaja, was kept there for four years, and then was taken back to India in 1933 by his master, never to be seen by the world of chess again. During his short stay in England, Sultan Khan won the British Chess Championship, defeated former World Champion Capablanca and played first board for England during the World Chess Olympiads at Prague 1931 and at Folkestone 1933. At the same time, another servant brought by the same maharaja, a Miss Fatima, won the British Woman's Chess Championship. Sultan Khan never finished lower than fourth in any chess tournament in which he ever played. Although he always lost to William Winter (who usually finished last, in spite of defeating Sultan Khan) there is no doubt that Sultan Khan was one of the strongest chess players in the world at that time. According to the modern rating system, Sultan Khan was about 2550 in strength and was easily a grandmaster. This also means that Sultan Khan was the first ever Asian grandmaster of chess. Sultan Khan There is some dispute as to whether Sultan Khan was a slave or was merely a servant. Reuben Fine related that when he was a guest for dinner at the maharaja's home in England, Sultan Khan was a waiter who brought the dishes to the table.

While Sir Umar deliberated in the rarefied atmosphere of London conferences, with British panjandra, on the future of the Raj, his retainer started to take on the British élite at chess. Sweeping all before him, the Indian genius entered the international arena where, playing top board for the British Empire team, he defeated grandmasters, such as Rubinstein. Tartakower also succumbed to the Indian sage, and then came Sultan Khan's greatest triumph - a win against Capablanca. Then, as suddenly and mysteriously as he had arrived, Sultan Khan departed for India and was never heard from again - though rumours did emerge from Kashmir in 1951 that an Indian village chessplayer, when shown the games from the world title match of that year, had opined: "these are two very weak players!"

HERITAGE Mir Malik Sultan Khan - The First Ever Asian Grandmaster of Chess Anil K. Anand anilka@hpcl.co.in We bring our readers another Heritage article about the all time great Indian player, Sultan Khan. A similar article appeared in the Feb 2002 Bulletin. One of the most interesting and important personalities in chess history was Mir Malik Sultan Khan. He was brought from India to England in 1929 by his master, a maharaja, Nawab Sir Umar Hayat Khan by name. He had no knowledge of chess theory and learned the modern chess rules in England. The maharaja was supposedly a friend of George V, the King and probably had some influence. He entered Sultan Khan in the British Open which he won easily. During his short stay in England, Sultan Khan won the British Chess Championship and played first board for England during the World Chess Olympiads at Prague (1931) and Folkestone (1933). One more oddity.... at the same time, there was another servant brought by the same maharaja, Miss Fatima by name, who won the British Women's Chess Championship! It is often said that Sultan Khan was a beginner at chess and that he learned the rules only shortly before being brought from India but he was a master at the Indian version of chess. However, this does not mean much, because the Indian version of chess is similar to Western chess, the main difference being that in Indian chess, a pawn can only move one square on the first move (not two) and when reaching the queening square, the pawn becomes the piece of the file on which it promotes. In other words, if a white pawn reaches c8 or f8, it becomes a bishop (d8 or e8 promotes to a Q). [Ed: There are indeed other differences. The placement of K and Q in the starting position, an extra automatic N move when promoting to a N etc].

MORE HERITAGE Mir Sultan Khan, 1905-1966 By Dr. A.Chatterjee Like Dushyant Tyagi (see Auto-Chess-O-Graphy 21, this Bulletin), many chess players in India first learn the game in its desi variant before becoming acquainted with the modern rules. There may have been countless players particularly in pre-partition rural India with special skills for intricate manoeuvring, skills which would forever be hidden to the arena of international chess. One such player was Mir Sultan Khan with the notable exception that he was picked out by an Indian Nawab and exposed to the worldwide chess colloseum. Sultan Khan went far. In the three and a half years of his rather short international career, he was thrice British Champion, represented Britain on top board in several team championships, beat Dr. Tartakower 6.5 - 5.5 in a match and recorded enough wins in tournaments to be considered of world championship rank. At Hastings (1930-31) he defeated Capablanca in their single encounter (see game below), and came third in the tournament (behind Euwe and Capablanca). In Prague (1931) he drew against Alekhine and Bogoljubov and defeated Rubenstein and Flohr with a total score of 111/2 out of 17. Sultan Khan was India's sole beacon, the only pillar symbolising world class in a game that originated in India. We would have to wait another 50 years before a dashing Vishwanathan Anand would carry the baton from there.

Mir Sultan Khan One of the most interesting and important personalities in chess history was Mir Sultan Khan (1905-66). He was brought from India to England in 1929 by his master a maharaja, after winning the 1928 Indian Championship. He stayed in England for four years, and then was taken back to India in 1933 by his master, never to be seen by the world of chess again.

According to the modern rating system, Sultan Khan was about 2550 in strength and was easily a grandmaster. This also means that Sultan Khan was the first ever Asian grandmaster of chess. "A striking figure whose black hair was usually turbanned, he sat at the board impassively, showing no emotion in positions good or bad," ran one account. "Unable to read or write, he never studied any books on the game yet became one of the ten best players in the world."
