Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on November 09, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Vladislav Tkachiev! To the chess world's favorite grandmaster and legendary party animal—your moves on the board are as brilliant as your antics off it. Who else could win both games and hearts with equal flair? Your European Individual Chess Championship victories in 2007 and again in 2009 remain unforgettable highlights that still inspire players everywhere.

Whether you're dazzling opponents at tournaments or charming everyone at after-parties, you always keep life interesting. May this birthday bring more epic wins, fewer hangovers (well...maybe), and endless reasons to celebrate like only you can. Keep making every move count—both on the chessboard AND dance floor!
