Let's make this birthday one to remember.

58 years old (Born on May 21, 1966)

Happy Birthday, Grandmaster Zdenko Kozul! May your day be filled with more joy than a perfectly executed Sicilian Defense and fewer surprises than facing an unexpected gambit. Your legendary victories, including clinching the European Individual Chess Championship in 2006, have inspired countless chess enthusiasts worldwide.

As one of Croatia's all-time greatest players, you've maneuvered through life like it's just another endgame—calmly outsmarting opponents while keeping that trademark smile intact. Here's wishing you many more years of brilliant moves on and off the board; may your pawns always promote smoothly and your clock never run low!

Cheers to you!
