title: Ghulam Kassim
text: Ghulam Kassim was an Indian chess player and author of the early 19th century, best known today for a variation of the King's Gambit that bears his name. In colonial India, several native forms of chess were popular; Ghulam Kassim was one of the first Indian players to achieve a degree of proficiency at the western form of the game. Almost nothing is known about his life; Howard Staunton noted in the Illustrated London News of 26 April 1845 that he had died "within the last few months".
