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.

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. During his short stay, Sultan Khan won the British Chess Championship, defeated World Champion Alekhine and former World Champion Capablanca (see game below), 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. "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."

Chess (the "Game of Kings") is a board game for two players, which requires 32 chesspieces (or chessmen ), 16 for each player, marked by contrasting colors. The board is a great square overall consisting of eight rows (ranks) by eight columns (files) of individual squares which alternate in color orthogonally (traditionally as white and black).

12. Mir Malik Sultan Khan of all time was a man called mir Malik sultan khan. A maharaja, Colonel Nawab Sir Umar had a servant, mir Malik sultan khan. He was an Indian chess master http://www.angelfire.com/games/SBChess/Sultankhan.html

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "angelfire.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Mir Malik Sultan Khan One of the most astounding chess masters of all time was a man called Mir Malik Sultan Khan. A maharaja, Colonel Nawab Sir Umar HayatKhan, lived in India (actually in the area which is today's Pakistan), whichwas owned by Britain at the time....this is in 1929. He had a servant, Mir Malik Sultan Khan. He was an Indian chess master. In India, the rules were slightly different. The pawn could only ever move 1 square. There were some different rules for castling - but I'm not sure what they were- and if a pawn reach it's "queening square" it could only become the piece whose file it was in the original position (like if the pawn reached b8, it became a knight..if c8, a bishop..) Well, this maharaja brought Sultan Khan to England with him. Khan learned the Western rules. The maharaja was a friend of George V, the king, and had some influence. He entered Sultan Khan in the British Open. Khan won. He played first board for England during the World Chess Olympiads at Prague 1931 and again at Folkestone 1933. He continued to play chess for 4 years. He never finished less than fourth in any tournament. He beat Capablanca, Rubinstein, Tartakower in games and drew against Alekhine. Oddly, he always lost to some master, named William Winter. Winter finished last in almost every tournament, but alway beat Khan ...weird!

Ramesh finished first and several other Indians took top prizes. This led to many top Brits not competing in the 2003 championship and accompanied criticism that the British Championship was not serving the interests of British players. This, combined with the victory of Indian Abhijit Kunte in 2003, led to an annoucement from the organisers that from 2004 only British and Irish players would be eligible to take part.

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].

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!"
