“Even if the world that #SultanKhan inhabited seems distant, he should be remembered as the first Asian to break through into the upper echelons of the international chess scene,” wrote #Anand about Sultan Khan in the foreword of Grandmaster Daniel King's biography on #Sultan
#Sultan won the #BritishChessChampionship three times -- in 1929, 1932 and 1934. Interestingly, he could not read, write, speak or understand English. This meant that he was not well-versed with the vast amount of #chess theory that all his opponents knew almost by heart.
