Happy Birthday, Zaven! May your day be filled with more joy than the moment you checkmated your toughest opponent. You've conquered tournaments and dazzled us all—your moves sharper than a bishop's diagonal dash and smoother than an Armenian grandmaster sipping coffee after victory.

From winning major championships to outsmarting rivals across the board, you've proven that chess isn't just black-and-white; it's full of colorful moments thanks to players like you. Here's wishing you another year of brilliant strategies, fewer stalemates in life, and plenty of laughs along the way. Keep making Armenia proud—and keep those pawns nervous!
