Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on November 02, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Sofia Polgar! May your day be filled with more joy than a queen capturing an unguarded rook. Your legendary performance in Rome 1989—famously dubbed the "Sack of Rome" after you dominated grandmasters—is still inspiring chess enthusiasts worldwide.

From dazzling combinations to fearless attacks on the board, you've shown us that brilliance and humor can coexist beautifully. Here's hoping this year brings even greater victories (and fewer stalemates) as you continue making moves both elegant and bold!

Wishing you endless happiness today—and may all life's gambits pay off spectacularly for our favorite tactical genius!
