Many Happy Returns to @GMJanTimman, who is 74 today. He was at the very top when I was actively playing & studying the game, & I am sure I speak for many fans when I say how happy I am that he continues to give so much to chess in the form of his writing & his endgame studies. ???? pic.twitter.com/ozqJopUkGH
