79 years old (Born on March 05, 1946)
Happy Birthday, Grandmaster Vladimir Tukmakov! Ever since you earned your grandmaster title back in 1972—when chessboards were wooden and knights still galloped—you've been dazzling us with brilliant moves. Your legendary victories for both the Soviet Union and Ukraine have inspired generations of players to scratch their heads (and occasionally flip tables) trying to decode your strategies.Today we celebrate not just another year on life's clock but also decades spent mastering pawns, bishops, queens—and opponents' nerves alike. May this birthday bring as much joy as a perfectly executed checkmate; after all these years at the board, you've certainly earned it!
