Commentators:
The mayor of Helsinki Juhana Vartiainen will be the chess commentator at this event. Vartiainen is a keen chess player and chair of the Finnish parliamentary chess club. One of his quotes: “it is always great when Helsinki can host pioneering international events!” shows how much enthusiasm there is in Finland for this event.
To provide the English commentary for the online-streaming there will be the american chessboxer Matt Thomas who had his first experience of commenting chessboxing live on streaming at the 2019 WCBO Chessboxing World Championships.
