Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on March 31, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Wang Yue! Congratulations to the chess legend who made history by becoming China's first player ever to cross that magical 2700 rating barrier. Your moves on the board have always been smoother than a perfectly brewed cup of tea and sharper than your favorite tactical combination.

From dominating tournaments worldwide to setting records as China’s highest-rated grandmaster (as of 2013), you've inspired countless players with your brilliance and calm demeanor under pressure. May this birthday bring you joy greater than finding an opponent's queen hanging in one move!

Keep making us smile—and opponents sweat—for many more years ahead!
