British Championships 2000 sponsored by Main Page Players Results and Standings Reports ... Live Coverage John Henderson's Round 6 Report on Saturday 5th August EMPIRE AND ALL THAT CAN you name me the player who lost a title match to Garry Kasparov but never won the British Championships when he played in it? Well, before you start sending us emails to point out Nigel Short's victories in 1984, 1987 and as recently as 1998, did you stop to consider India's Vishy Anand, who competed in the British as a teenager in the 1980s? Since its inception in 1904, at the height of British Empire (remember, when we ruled the globe over our minions?), the rules and regulations - which barely have been revised since - for this fortnight-long event was drawn up, players from as far a field as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh have all had the right to play in the UK's premier chess tournament. Curiously, this has resulted in there being no such title as English chess champion. Viswanathan Anand played in Blackpool 1989 A truly great natural player, Sultan Khan was taken by Sir Umar Hayat Khan (an army officer in charge of the horses for King George V) into his household as a servant in 1926 and only played in Europe from 1929-33 while his master was based in England. Totally illiterate (he couldn't speak English and had to have an attendant write down his score), the amazing thing about Sultan Khan was that he had to learn the rules of chess in Europe, which were different than Eastern chess (pawns could only move one square at a time, for example, and he had no knowledge of any sort of opening theory).

INDIA The Mughals The Timurid Dynasty BRIEF HISTORY The Mughals or, more correctly the Timurid dynasty, traced their descent from Timur the Great, Amir of Transoxania and better known to history as Tamerlane - see Uzbekistan Transoxania Padshah (Supreme King) in 1507 and gradually expanded his empire into the surrounding territories. Invading India in 1525, his armies defeated the Sultan of Delhi at the battle of Panipat in 1526. However, the dynasty was not secure. Babur's son, Humayun II, lost his throne and empire to Sher Shah Suri in two decisive battles at Chain in 1539 and at Kanauj, the following year. Thereafter he retreated into Persia, where the Safawi's gave him succour. Fifteen years later he launched a new invasion, taking Afghanistan and the Punjab, before soundly defeating Sikander Shah, in June 1555. Humayun's successors gradually extended their control over India by defeating and annexing the remaining Muslim sultanates of the continent. Akbar, Humayun's son and successor skilfully secured the allegiance of powerful Hindu rulers by strategically allying himself and his family in marriage. Jahangir, Akbar's son, further consolidated the dynasty in India, ensuring that thereafter the focus of their attention would be in the sub-continent, rather than, hankering after Samarkand and their ancestral lands in Central Asia.

Salar Jung Museum: One-man Wonder Salar Jung museum is the fantasy of an art visionary come to life which waited for its consummation for another great lover of art Jawaharlal Nehru to visit the historic city of the Quli Qutab Shahs and inaugurate it on 16 December, 1951 when the collections were hurriedly assorted and housed in Diwan Devdi, residence of the Salar Jungs. Every year a million visitors pay homage to this great repository of art and history. The priceless collections were moved in 1968 to a new site from the 100-year-old palace Dewan Devdi of the prime ministers. Legend has that the museum houses art collections of three generations of the Salar Jung family, beginning with Salar Jung, who was prime minister under The incomparable treasures of the museum, consisting only of a part of the original collection, are an amazing amalgam of antiquity and modernity, the three Salar Jungs scouring continents for objets d'art and returning home with shiploads of artefacts. It is believed that during the colonial period a lot of the art wealth of the country was shipped to the metropolitan countries and the Salar Jungs are credited with bringing back some of it to enrich the collection. The museum represents, in popular belief, the largest one-man collections of the world. They reflect the stunning range of time and place of these treasures, some of them belonging to different civilisations and dating back to the first century and retrieved from nearly every nook and corner of the world. However, the chief architect of this great and magnificent congeries of art is believed to be Salar Jung III, i.e. Nawab Mir Yusuf Ali khan.

"It was on a bitterly cold night and frosty morning, towards the end of the winter of 1897, that I was awakened by a tugging at my shoulder. It was Holmes. The candle in his hand shone upon his eager, stooping face, and told me at a glance that something was amiss. "'Come, Watson, come!" he cried. " The game is afoot . Not a word! Into your clothes and come!''" From "The Adventure of the Abbey Grange" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 1904.

UM XÁTRIA DO TABULEIRO Ronald Câmara e-mail: ronald@bccafe.com.br "No sistema de castas hindu, xátria é a dos guerreiros" (Dicionário AURÉLIO) Não obstante sua importância histórica como berço do xadrez, a Índia até pouco tempo só havia alcançado projeção nas lides do tabuleiro por intermédio do extraordinário Mir Malik Sultan Khan . De origem humilde, nasceu em 1905 em Mittha Tawan no distrito de Punjab e faleceu em 25.04.1966 na localidade de Sargotha . Sem instrução, aprendeu a jogar xadrez ainda garoto com o seu pai que se situava entre os bons jogadores da cidade. palco de exibição de suas habilidades enxadrísticas eram as ruas de Punjab, onde foi descoberto pelo coronel do exército indiano Sir Nawab Umar Hayat Khan que verificou tratar-se de um "diamante bruto" , necessitando somente ser lapidado para mostrar todo o seu brilho e valor. Incorporado à família Khan, passou a adotar esse sobrenome e contar com todo incentivo de seu protetor. Os frutos desse trabalho não tardaram em aparecer e logo coroou seus esforços com a conquista do campeonato de seu país em 1928. Verificando que o seu pupilo precisava de um meio mais adiantado para desenvolver todo o seu talento, o seu patrono levou-o para a Inglaterra, onde teve oportunidade de superar as principais estrelas internacionais, derrotando Alekhine, Capablanca, Rubinstein, Tartakower, Salo Flohr
