Sultan Khan: The Indian Servant Who Became Chess Champion of the British Empire

"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. [He] 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."--
