After analyzing many of Rafiq Khan's games over the last few days I have come to the conclusion that Rafiq Khan liked to play positional chess. He liked to fianchetto his king's bishop with white after opening with 1.d4. It was not like Rafiq tried to stay away from complications. When the position demanded them, he would go for it whole heartedly....
When I was going through many of Rafiq Khan's games, this one caught my attention. Mainly because the endgame looked drawish and yet Rafiq managed to convert it and secondly his opponent was the very talented youngster and the future GM of India Dibyendu Barua.
The defining tournament of Rafiq Khan's chess career. Rafiq scored 10.0/13 with nine wins, two draws and two losses. We have chosen three of his games here. The first one is against IM Steen Feder of Denmark. This game shows how White can keep control in the fianchetto variation of the King's Indian and use his extra space to put Black under pressu...
It's easy to assume that Rafiq Khan didn't like complications. As a person who thrived on logic, he liked to keep things under control. But when the situation demanded or when wanted to win at all costs, he would unleash his aggressive side as seen in this game against Hari Om Sharma. It is not flawless when subjected to the modern engines, but it ...

But the then National Players from Mumbai always shared the important events and information with the ...

Rafiq Khan was meek and mild to talk to, never indulged in any mischief, nor did he made any complaint about uncomfortable situation if ever he faced one. Normally Rajendra Bagdi and I shared room with him whenever we participated in tournaments together. Always at ease, valued friendship very high and extended full support for analysis of adjourne...
I was playing in an inter school level tournament in Kolkata when I was just 8-9 years old. Perhaps it was the Telegraph, but I don't remember it accurately. But what I do remember is that I lost one of my games and started crying uncontrollably. My mother was naturally worried. At that point Rafiq Khan spoke to my mom and said, "Don't worry about ...
The thing I remember about Rafiq Khan is that he was a natural player and was admired by all in 70's & 80's. He was very good in endgame.
I am sorry to hear that Mohammed Rafique Khan has passed away - He scored the silver medal (I think with a score of 10/13) on the 3rd board at the 1980 Olympiad 1980 at a time when the financial rewards were not great - He was the National champion in Ernakulam 1978 but then these details are already known to you. His opening knowledge was suspect ...
