Let's make this birthday one to remember.

31 years old (Born on June 28, 1994)

Happy Birthday, Anish Giri—the chess world's favorite prodigy who can draw faster than Picasso! Born in Russia and proudly representing the Netherlands, your sharp wit off-board is matched only by your razor-sharp moves on it. From dazzling victories at Tata Steel Chess to dominating performances that keep fans glued (and sometimes amused), you've proven you're more than just a master of stalemates.

Recently, your brilliant triumphs have silenced critics—well, almost—and reminded us all why we love watching you play. May this birthday bring fewer draws and even more spectacular wins; after all, nobody navigates between checkmates and Twitter banter quite like you do!
