Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on December 11, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Gawain! From becoming the youngest player ever to topple an International Master in tournament play, you've always been ahead of your time—literally. Your moves on the board are sharper than British wit and more surprising than English weather.

Whether you're dazzling fans internationally or calmly sipping tea while dismantling grandmasters' defenses, your chess brilliance remains timeless. May your birthday celebrations be as bold as your King's Gambit and as memorable as that epic victory that first put you on the global chess map.

Here's to another year of checkmates, laughter, and making opponents wish they'd chosen draughts instead!
