Victories without a fight are taken into account in the individual balance sheets, defeats without a fight are not taken into account.
Only players are listed who had at least one appearance in the 2003 season.
Since Sorab Basel put up his team incorrectly in the competition against SG Riehen, the game between Jean-Luc Costa and Niklaus Giertz was considered to have won for Giertz in the team classification. For the individual balance, however, the result (draw) played on the board is taken into account.
