Today a new sponsorship contract was signed with the investment firm GAMMA which will be the main sponsor of the Reykjavik Open for the next four years. The signature on the contract was very fittingly done on the national chess day in Iceland and of course it’s no coincidence that today is also the 80th birthday of GM Fridrik Olafsson.
The national chess day was founded to honor Fridrik and he was fittingly on hand for the signing of the contract. Agnar Tómas Möller from GAMMA and Gunnar Björnsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation were on hand to put pen to paper today.
