Happy Birthday, Vladimir!
33 is an excellent age for a top chess player. Make the most of it during the next twelve months! And take inspiration from your younger compatriots on the football pitch: reinvent your attacking game!
It has been quite a good year for you. Not as good as the year before when you overcame your athritis and Topalov in the notorious Elista match to become our unified world champion. But still a good one with excellent victories in Dortmund and Moscow and a much underestimated second place in Mexico where you were just less lucky than the proud winner Anand, whom you will face later this year.
Work, fight and be ready to take risks to be number one and live up to the promise of your talent, Vladimir! Show us your best in Dortmund, Bonn and Dresden and help in this way to raise the popularity of chess in Germany!
Yours truly,
Schachblogger
