Happy Birthday, Yuri Yakovich! Grandmaster, author extraordinaire, and legendary chess thinker—your moves on the board are nearly as sharp as your witty annotations. Even after years of baffling opponents with impossible puzzles and dazzling combinations, you somehow found time to write books that have enlightened countless aspiring masters. Clearly multitasking is your hidden superpower!May this birthday bring you openings full of cake forks rather than tactical forks; middlegames packed with smooth celebrations instead of strategic complications; and endgames spent enjoying timeless victories among family and beloved friends. Thank you for enriching the world of chess—keep smiling and keep surprising us all!
