His natural talent soon catches the attention of the maharaja, who introduces him to the Western version of the game. Brought to England as the prince's pawn, Malik becomes a chess legend, winning the world championship and humiliating the British colonialists. His skills as a refined strategist eventually drag him into a strange game of warfare with far-reaching consequences. Inspired by the unlikely true story of chess master Malik Mir Sultan Khan, Game of the Gods is a fascinating tale about karma and destiny, by the author of the multi-million copy bestseller The Luneburg Variation."--Provided by publisher. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Household employees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Chess $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Chess players $v Fiction. 650 0 $a East Indians $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Competition (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen thirties $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Chess. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00853777 650 7 $a Chess players. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00853811 650 7 $a Competition (Psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00871488 650 7 $a East Indians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901060 650 7 $a Household employees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01730010 650 7 $a Nineteen thirties. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01037830 651 0 $a India $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Italian fiction $v Translations into English. $2 local 700 1 $a Appel, Anne Milano, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013040.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FD7004985F0711ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
