Happy Birthday, Nigel Short—the chessboard wizard whose legendary moves still dazzle fans around the globe! From your courageous victory in challenging Garry Kasparov for the world title back in '93 to consistently remaining amongst Britain's greatest Grandmasters, you've been schooling the competition with flair and wit.Chessboards everywhere trembled when you unleashed creativity like it was child's play—knight sacrifices or daring strategies; there’s always excitement around a "Short" game. May this birthday be full of joy including plenty of cake that's easier to conquer than any rook-endgame ever could be. Keep inspiring us all—and remember: unlike pawns, champions never retire easily!
