A truly deserving GM. His real achievement is greater than the what stats show. The circumstances make them even more spectacular.

He should have been awarded the GM title long ago. It is really due and an honor to pay him for FIDE.

Although he had a short carreer he drew with or usually actually beat the best! What about the overhyped Bobby Fischer - never played a single game after becoming world champ.

This is long overdue. He was plausibly overlooked then because of his humble origins, nature of job (articles still make it a point to tell us how 'incredible' it was that a 'servant' humbled Capablanca n other GMs); also his own nation at the time was a Colony so there was nobody to back his rightful claim to the GM title. FIDE must rectify this glaring omission, among the obvious reason--Mir Sultan Khan's prowess--a GM title would also give another shot in the arm to the popularity of chess in South Asia.

Sultan Khan was a very strong player and demonstrated exemplary performance in his matches against some of the strongest players in the world. He deserved the GM title!

Mir Sultan Khan, is one of the legendary players of all time, and his intuitive and brilliant game, wrote his name among the great gladiators of chess, and he deserves that hour, because it represents in particular the fight of the less deprived in this world ... Viva Mir Sultan Khan !!!
