Helgi Dam Ziska writes from Malta tonight about the match against Monaco: "The match against Monaco went according to the book. Høgni quickly achieved a draw with black, as we had discussed before the match. Shortly after, Luitjen also drew, likewise with black. Then the situation on the other boards was that both John and I had secured a safe advantage with the white pieces. We both played to achieve two results - victory or draw - which is a desirable situation when playing team competition. I won my game fairly easily, and then John secured the match victory with a draw in his game".
Helgi Dam Ziska skrivar soleiðis av Malta í kvøld um dystin móti Monako: "Dysturin ímóti Monako gekk eftir bókini. Høgni tók ein skjótan javnleik við svørtum, eins og vit høvdu tosað um undan dystinum. Stutt eftir tók Luitjen eisini javnt, somuleiðis við svørtum. Tá var støðan á hinum borðunum tann, at bæði John og eg høvdu fingið tryggan fyrimun við hvíta fólkinum. Vit telvaðu báðir at kalla um tvey úrslit - sigur ella javnleik - sum er ein ynskistøða, tá ið man telvar liðkapping. Eg vann mítt talv rímiliga greitt, og so tryggjaði John dystarsigurin við remis í sínum talvi".
