THE INDIAN CHESSMASTER MALIK MIR SULTAN KHAN - ...

In 1929  Malik Mir Sultan Khan (born in 'British India' in 1905) came to England. There  the
young man who belonged to the entourage of an Indian diplomat  soon entered the world stage of
chess. He earned remarkable tournament successes  and was temporarily one of the ten best
players in the world. However  the amazing career ended abruptly in 1933 when Khan returned to
his home country. He never played chess on an international level again  and died in 1966. This
book traces the exceptional life of this chess master  as far as the narrow sources
allow.Ulrich Geilmann (born in 1963) has already published two chess novels in German. He
graduated as an urban planner and works in the public sector. He is an amateur chess player and
a member of the Emanuel Lasker Gesellschaft (Emanuel Lasker Society). For a certain period he
was the manager of a team which competed in the highest German league (Bundesliga). On the
Internet he reports regularly and in a witty narrative style about his various experiences at
chess tournaments.
