23. Anatoly Karpov,

born: May 23, 1951 (age 71 years), Zlatoust, Russia.

GM (Grand Master) Anatoly Karpov was the 12th world champion and reigned from 1975 to 1985 while also being the FIDE world champion from 1993 to 1999.

In 1975, American Bobby Fischer refused to defend his title when an agreement could not be reached with FIDE, chess's international governing body, over the match conditions. Consequently, the Soviet challenger Anatoly Karpov was named World Champion by default.
