Decades before world champion Viswanathan Anand powered the India's chess story, it was Sultan Khan who gave India its first hero in the sport. #Chess

“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.
Despite all these drawbacks, he managed to play some of the greatest chess the world has ever seen. He is often referred to as ‘the greatest natural player of modern times’ because he heavily relied on his intuition to make his moves.

Dear #Hans, I don't know much about #chess. But somewhere I am completely convinced towards your #honesty to improve your chess and win as much as you can.
#HansNiemann
You said that you said the know the #truth and you said it as well. Well, there are millions of people like me who believe you. Whatever happens in the future, go ahead full steam and defeat almost every chess player you meet over the board. #HansNiemann
Best players deserve wins, you are one of them.
I'm also believe that #MagnusCarlsen is too perceptive & a master at mind-games; he did this now with you. He wouldn't like your brutal honesty or straight-forwardness, more after losing to you, #Hans

Dear Indian players, plz develop comm skills as this. You got to mentally win to beat top #chess players.
While he beat Vishy, Magnus already had this sarcasm & carefree arrogance we see in Hans.

You command respect and Hans does that with his convincing comm skills, that comments on other's feelings or their mental state in a way which is factual & undeniable; it cannot be opposed. You automatically get agreement & alignment from others. #Chess #India #Communication

#SatyendraNathBose FRS was an Indian mathematician and physicist specialising in theoretical physics. He is best known for his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s, in developing the foundation for Bose statistics and the theory of the Bose condensate. Image
Today, @Google honours and pays tribute to the Indian physicist and mathematician with doodle.
#SatyaNarayanBose
By 1917, Bose began giving lectures on physics. While teaching postgraduate students Planck’s radiation formula, Bose had questioned the way particles were counted and began experimenting with his own theories.
