Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on November 26, 1986)

Happy Birthday, Ivan Cheparinov! May your day be filled with more joy than a perfectly executed queen sacrifice and fewer surprises than facing an unexpected Sicilian Defense. Ever since you clinched the Bulgarian Chess Championship back in 2004, you've been making moves that leave opponents scratching their heads—and fans cheering wildly.

Here's to another year of brilliant combinations and strategic triumphs on the chessboard. Keep dazzling us all by turning pawns into queens faster than we can say "checkmate!" Wishing you endless victories both at tournaments and birthday cake battles—may no one dare challenge your fork skills today!
