Let's make this birthday one to remember.

70 years old (Born on November 18, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Adrian Mikhalchishin! May your day be filled with more joy than a perfectly executed queen sacrifice and fewer surprises than facing an unexpected Sicilian Defense. You've coached countless chess masters worldwide—clearly proving that behind every great player is someone who patiently explains why moving the knight to h5 isn't always brilliant.

With over twenty books under your belt (and counting!), you've shown us all how deeply you love this timeless game. Your wisdom has guided generations of players through tricky endgames and baffling openings alike; here's hoping today brings as much satisfaction as finally checkmating after hours of strategic maneuvering!
