The Faroe Islands have, compared to Monaco, higher strength numbers on three of the top four boards. On the second board, the rating is even. Høgni Egilstoft Nielsen has been flying so far, and is the only one in the competition with a full score after five rounds. He is also playing for his third and final norm for the title of international chess master. It is also worth noting the good result of the only 15-year-old Luitjen A. Apol.
Føroyar hava sammettar við Monako hægri styrkital á trimum av fremstu fýra borðunum. Á øðrum borði stendur á jøvnum í rating. Høgni Egilstoft Nielsen hevur verið flúgvandi higartil, og hevur sum tann einasti av øllum í kappingini fult stigatal eftir fimm umfør. Hann telvar eisini fyri sínum triðja og síðsta normi til heitið sum altjóða talvmeistari. Vert er eisini at gáa eftir góða úrslitinum hjá einans 15 ára gamla Luitjen A. Apol.
