The phrase "His meteoric rise was parallel to Morphy's, who conquered the chess world in about three years. About eighty years later, Sultan Khan almost conquered the chess world in about four years. His was another bittersweet story in chess." strikes me as fawning hyperbole. Sultan Khan certainly quickly rose to the top of the chess world, but he was hardly on the verge of conquering it, especially considering his poor record against Alekhine (+0 -3 =1).
