Happy Birthday, Wesley So! From prodigy to powerhouse, you've maneuvered through life like a grandmaster—always several moves ahead. Your victories at the Tata Steel Masters and your stunning triumphs in Grand Chess Tour events have left opponents scratching their heads faster than they can say "checkmate!"

Whether you're calmly dismantling defenses or flashing that humble smile after another brilliant win, you remind us all why chess is both art and sport. May this birthday bring more trophies for your shelf—and fewer bishops sacrificed unnecessarily.

Keep making Filipinos proud worldwide; here's wishing you endless success on life's great board!
