Brynell and l’Ami expert commentators 2022
The tournament’s expert commentators this year will be GM Stellan Brynell and GM Erwin l’Ami. Brynell has been the host of the commentator studio for many years, while his assistants usually vary from year to year.
Dutch Grandmaster Erwin l’Ami who is Brynell’s sidekick this year is ranked No. 156 in the world with E2622. On his track record, we find, among other things, a victory in the very strong open tournament Reykjavik Open 2015.
