Happy Birthday to the legendary Nikolai Krogius! May your day be filled with more joy than a grandmaster feels after delivering a perfectly timed checkmate. Your brilliant strategies and insightful coaching have shaped chess history, guiding countless players toward greatness—though we're still trying to figure out how you managed to keep all those chess prodigies in line!From your remarkable victories on the board to mentoring some of the greatest minds in modern chess, you've truly mastered every move. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much satisfaction as watching an opponent fall into one of your cleverly prepared traps. Cheers!
