Let's make this birthday one to remember.

26 years old (Born on May 06, 1998)

Happy Birthday, Kayden! From mastering chessboards to conquering championships—your moves have always been legendary. Who knew that the kid who dominated as the 2012 Under-14 World Youth Chess Champion would grow up so fast? Clearly, being tutored by Grandmaster Igor Ivanov gave you an unfair advantage: a secret stash of brilliant strategies and perhaps some Jedi mind tricks.

As another year unfolds like your favorite opening gambit, may it bring even more victories (and fewer stalemates). Keep dazzling us with those clever tactics—and remember: age is just a number...though in chess terms you're definitely approaching grandmaster maturity!
