May-31-10  alfiepa: Heini disappeared in the evening of May 3 and was found drowned May 25 Long live his memory!
May-31-10  alfiepa: Heini Olsen (Dec. 15 1969 - May 3 2010) was a well regarded and respected Faroese chess player. He had the strength and capacity to become an International Master for the last 15 years holding 2 IM-norms and some good results in his bag. He won the Faroese championship 5 times, 3 of them in succession from 1991-93. He represented the Faroes, FAI at the Chess Olympiads on many occasions since his début in 1988 in Thessaloniki. He played for the Faroes in 1989 in Aabybro at the 8-Nation Tournament. He also played on the Faroese team in the Matches against Iceland from 1991. Recently he was on the team that secured gold at the Island Games 2009 for the Faroes. A few years ago he moved from Denmark back to the Faroes. In Klaksvík he settled down with his family and as a teacher, a job he loved. He also found himself playing better chess...

I don't know why Daniel put such empty verbiage in bios, but it gives a bad impression.
