76 years old (Born on January 10, 1949)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Walter Browne, whose chessboard mastery has left opponents scratching their heads since 1974! With six U.S. Chess Championship titles under your belt (1974, 1975, 1977, 1980, 1981 and again in '83), you've proven that knights aren't just for fairy tales—they're also great at checkmating rivals.Your moves have always been timeless classics—sharp enough to make bishops blush and pawns proud. May your birthday be filled with fewer stalemates and more cake slices than ever before. Here's hoping you celebrate today like it's another championship victory: bold openings followed by a sweet endgame!
