In 1950, when FIDE first awarded the titles of International Grandmaster and International Master, Sultan Khan had not played for 15 years. Although FIDE awarded titles to some long-retired players who had distinguished careers earlier in their lives, such Ossip Bernstein, Ernst Grünfeld, Boris Kostic, Géza Maroczy, Jacques Mieses, Akiba Rubinstein, Friedrich Sämisch, Savielly Tartakower, Milan Vidmar and CarlosTorre, it never awarded any title to Sultan Khan.

In fact, by awarding the GM title to him, the award gets the merit rather than the vice-versa. Winning the British national championship, that too, thrice is no mean achievement. Besides he had beaten the great stalwarts of the game including R.J. Casablanca.
Thanks,
