Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on February 26, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Yehuda Gruenfeld! You maneuver through life with as much precision and elegance as your chess pieces. From captivating everyone at six Chess Olympiads to confounding competitors worldwide, you’ve proven that age is just another number—though clearly you're better at numbers than most of us.

May your birthday party be filled with all the timeless classics: cake sweeter than victory against a tough opponent, jokes sharper than your Sicilian Defense, and friends more loyal than knights guarding their king. Keep smiling like you do after delivering a winning checkmate; here’s to endless happiness both on and off the board!
