Talvið í dag var rættiliga áhugavert, tí fleiri ferðir gjøgnum talvið høvdu teir báðir góðar støður, sum teir kundu gagnnýtt betur. Tað gjørdu teir ikki, av ymsum orsøkum, og tá endatalvið byrjaði lá tað mest til at eisini hetta talvið skuldi enda javnt. Men norski stórmeistarin var seigur og leitaði eftir møguligum loysnum, sum hann eisini brádliga fann.
Today's game was quite interesting, as several times during the game they both had good positions that they could have exploited better. They did not do so, for various reasons, and when the endgame began it seemed most likely that this game too would end in a draw. But the Norwegian grandmaster was tenacious and sought possible solutions, which he also quickly found.

Undir egið borð lýsir konfliktina millum kjøt og anda. Materialismu og hugsjón. Rík og fátæk. Fólkaræði og pengavald. Og bókin er altíð aktuel. Ísland hevur til dømis havt stórar trupulleikar av grommum bankum farnu árini, og vit hava eitt aktuelt mál um møguliga hvítvasking í einum banka í Føroyum. Og hoyr hvat Halldór Laxness skrivaði í 1933: “Trupulleikin er, at fólk heldur náðifavnin hjá bankanum vera samsvarandi tí yndisligu útsjóndini, tryggan og treystan, men veruleikin er helst tann, at tá ið avtornar, er bankin tryggastur hjá teimum ovurmennum, ið hava góða grund til at skylda eina millión og kanska upp í fimm milliónir”.
Under the open sky describes the conflict between meat and spirit. Materialism and vision. Rich and poor. Democracy and money power. And the book is always relevant. Iceland, for example, has had major problems with big banks in recent years, and we have a current case about possible money laundering in a bank in the Faroe Islands. And listen to what Halldór Laxness wrote in 1933: “The problem is that people think the bank's grace corresponds to the delightful view, safe and reliable, but the reality is probably that when it comes to the crunch, the bank is safest with those overmen who have good reason to owe a million and maybe up to five million”.
