Khan has been described by noted Guyanese chess player and head of the Guyana Chess Federation, Errol Tiwari, as, "a person serious about his games, coming from a family of chess players and may have been the reason why he won 14 games and will be moving on to the senior level for the second tournament".{{cite web|url=http://www.gina.gov.gy/archive/daily/b090110.html|title=Culture Ministry, Chess Federation succeed in development of chess|publisher=Guyana Government Information Agency|date=January 10, 2009|accessdate=January 22, 2009|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605122111/http://www.gina.gov.gy/archive/daily/b090110.html|archivedate=June 5, 2011}}
