Let's make this birthday one to remember.

34 years old (Born on November 30, 1990)

Happy Birthday, Magnus Carlsen! You're officially one move closer to becoming the wisest chess wizard ever. With a rating of 2872 back in February 2013—the highest in history—you've set records that even your pawns brag about. Seriously, at this point, we're pretty sure you dream exclusively in checkmates.

From dominating tournaments worldwide to casually defending your title like it's just another Tuesday afternoon blitz game, you've made chess look easier than microwaving popcorn. May your birthday be filled with laughter and joy—and may all your future opponents conveniently forget how knights move!

Cheers to many more brilliant moves ahead!
