European team championship in chess
The European team championship in chess is a chess competition for national teams of the countries of Europe .
Event
The men's European championship ("open" European championship, as women can also be used in the teams) initially took place in a competition system made up of decentralized preliminary rounds and a central final round. Four teams each qualified for the final round in 1957, six in 1961 and six in 1965, each playing against each other twice (double round system). Since 1970, the final tournaments have been held with eight teams in a simple round system. With the European Championship in 1989, a nine-round Swiss system was used. The number of participating teams has remained constant at around 40 in the last few decades. The team strength per competition gradually decreased from ten boards (until 1970) to eight and six to the four boards that have been common since 1992.
The women's tournament has been played as a nine-round tournament in the Swiss system since the beginning of 1992. The team strength was only two boards until 2003, since then four boards have been played. Since this enlargement of the teams, the field of participants comprises around 30 teams.
