Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on May 12, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Zenon Franco! Another year older and still making chessboards tremble. You've maneuvered through life with the same brilliance you display on the board—always several moves ahead of everyone else. Your legendary games continue to inspire generations; rumor has it even your pawns celebrate when you're around!

From dominating South American championships to authoring insightful chess literature, you've proven that age is just a number—but rating points are forever sacred. May this birthday bring as much joy as your greatest victories and fewer blunders than an amateur blitz game.

Here's wishing you endless checkmates—and cake slices—in style!
