Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on March 09, 1943)

Happy birthday to Bobby Fischer, the legendary grandmaster who singlehandedly turned chess into a thrilling Cold War sport! From checkmating grandmasters half-asleep at age 14, to dramatically taking down Boris Spassky in Reykjavik—way before Netflix made chess cool—you've still got us talking. Admit it, without you challenging every move and conspiracy theories about hidden microphones in chessboards, where would our excitement be?

Oh Bobby, even though you vanished like an elusive bishop escaping capture just when we wanted more from your genius moves on the board—your legacy endures. Wherever you're celebrating today, hope you’re keeping your king safely castled!
