Hardly anyone paid attention when Sultan Khan arrived in London on April 26, 1929. A humble servant from a village in the Punjab, Khan had little formal education and barely spoke English. He had learned the rules of Western chess only three years earlier, yet within a few months he created a sensation by becoming the British Empire champion. Sultan Khan was taken to England by Sir Umar Hayat Khan, an Indian nobleman and politician who used his servant’s successes to promote his own interests in the turbulent years before India gained independence. Sultan Khan remained in Europe for the best part of five years, competing with the leading chess players of the era, including World Champion Alexander Alekhine and former World Champion Jose Raoul Capablanca. His unorthodox style often stunned his opponents, as Daniel King explains in his examination of the key games and tournaments in Khan’s career. Daniel King has uncovered a wealth of new facts about Khan, as well as dozens of previously unknown games. For the first time he tells the full story of how Khan, a Muslim outsider, was received in Europe, of his successes in the chess world and his return to obscurity after his departure for India in 1933.

Mir Sultan Khan was the most remarkable and amazing chess player who ever lived. He was by far the first player of grandmaster strength from Asia. He came from a country where chess as we know it was not played. He had no book knowledge or training. He knew nothing of opening theory or studies of the game. He was brought from India as a servant and instructed by his master to play chess. Yet, he quickly established himself as one of the strongest players in the world, defeating Capablanca, Rubinstein, Flohr, Tartakower, Bernstein, Marshall and many other of the world's leading grandmasters (although the title was not established at that time) in tournament games. He also drew several games with World Champions Alekhine and Euwe but never beat them. Sultan Khan won many games in the endgame. He often traded queens in the opening. His games lasted a long time. He defeated Capablanca in the endgame when Capablanca was thought of as being unbeatable and the strongest endgame player in the world. In games where he salvaged a draw he appeared to be hopelessly lost against Euwe and Rubinstein. All the games from Descriptive Notation to Algebraic Notation. All 64 games in Algebraic Notation are to be found in a new appendix in the back of this book, along with a concluding diagram for each game. In addition, four other games are included. These are all games were R. N. Coles gave a diagram or part of the game but not the complete game. One is an 80-move game mentioned on page 48 where Sultan Khan was able to salvage a draw in a position against the great Rubinstein that appeared to be hopelessly lost. Next is an 87 move game which is mentioned in the introduction to game 24 in which Sultan Khan defeated Tartakover by offering a knight sacrifice. That game in full is not in the original text probably because of its length, even though it includes a cute knight sacrifice at the end. The third is a game against Vera Menchik with a diagram on page 91. The fourth is a draw where he swindled World Champion Euwe into an endgame where he had the wrong colored bishop.

At the height of the British Empire, the chess loving Indian servant, Sultan Khan, arrived in the imperial capital as part of the feudal retinue of Sir Umar, his high caste master. 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 elite 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.

The Last Three Chapters Of The Book Have Been Devoted To A Description Of The SultanS Government And Army, His Reforms And Religious Policy, His Efforts At Industrialisation And State Socialism, His Character, His Failures And Achievements. This Pioneering Study Will Enable The Reader To Appraise The Career And Character Of This Extraordinary Man. Its Scholarly Value Is Enhanced By Professor HasanS Extensive Use Of English, French, Persian, And Urdu Sources.
