He invented the kings indian defence which is one of the best replies against d4 , was heavily analysed and played by Garry Kasparov ( there is a sideline dedicated to Kasparov ) . Players like Bobby fisher and Michail Tal played the opening a lot . Sultan khan's ideas in many ways laid the foundation for many modern opening ... And he defeated Capablanca twice so that also is some achivement ... He should not only be a Gm but a super Gm if you ask me ...

FIDE granted the GM title to players like Ossip Bernstein, Ernst Grünfeld, Boris Kostic, Géza Maroczy, Jacques Mieses, Akiba Rubinstein, Friedrich Sämisch, Savielly Tartakower, Milan Vidmar, Carlos Torre and others. A player who was equally strong and one of the best in the world was Sultan Khan. At the heights of his power he was a three-time British Champion, had beaten players like Capablanca, Rubinstein, Yates and also Tartakower in a match. He surely deserved the GM title, but his achievements have been overlooked in the past by FIDE.
