The Bundesliga is the top division of the Swiss group championship in chess (SGM). This consists of eight teams; The game is played on eight boards. Originally the SGM was carried out by the Swiss Workers' Chess Federation (SASB), since the merger of the SASB with the Swiss Chess Federation to form the Swiss Chess Federation .

Organizational form

The eight participating teams play a simple round-robin tournament , the final placement is determined first by the number of team points (two points for a win, one point for a draw, no point for a defeat), then the number of board points (one point for a winning game, half a point for a draw game, no point for a losing game). The bottom of the table is relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga and is replaced by the winner of a promotion match played by the winners of the two second division seasons. A club can be represented by a maximum of one team in the 1st Bundesliga.

The team line-ups must always be based on the leadership list valid on July 1st, but a player may only be placed two boards higher or lower.

The cooling-off time is 120 minutes for the first 40 moves, then 60 minutes until the end of the game.

particularities

In addition to the SGM of the organized Swiss Chess Federation (SSB) with the Swiss Team Championship (SMM), another team championship, the top division, the National League A 's. This is justified by the fact that the SSB was created in 1995 from the merger of the Swiss Workers' Chess Federation (which previously organized the SGM) and the Swiss Chess Federation (which had previously carried out the SMM) and both competitions were retained.
