Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on May 15, 1967)

Happy birthday, Simen Agdestein! From casually conquering chessboards to nurturing grandmasters-to-be, your life is like a perfect blended gambit—equal parts legendary player and inspiring coach. Whether you're recalling that itchingly close matchup with Kasparov or giving Magnus Carlsen those secret pointers we all wish we knew, you've mastered both ends of chess royalty.

As you celebrate another wonderful year, remember: age might give opponents hope—but in your case it just means increased chances for epic comebacks and humorous post-game reports. Keep baffling students and rivals alike; there's nothing agelessly funnier than watching someone checkmate assumptions—and literally everyone else!
