Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on August 01, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Vadim Milov! From the Soviet Union to Israel, and now proudly representing Switzerland—your chess journey has more moves than a grandmaster's endgame. Who could forget your legendary triumph at the Australian Open of Chess in 1999? Clearly, kangaroos weren't the only ones hopping with excitement that year!

Your strategic brilliance continues to inspire players worldwide. May your birthday be filled with fewer stalemates and more checkmates, fewer pawns lost and more queens gained. Here's wishing you another year of clever openings, dazzling middlegames, and victorious endgames—because let's face it: you're still making all the right moves!
