Notes on the table and determining the placement

The Chess Olympiad is a team tournament. In Elista 13 rounds were played according to the Swiss system. In the Swiss system, teams of the same rank are drawn from one another. Each team (team) could use three players per team fight. For each team fight, three individual points (board points) are awarded, which are indicated in the following table of the 13 rounds under the code of the opposing team. The code is a short key for the teams. The sum of the board points is under BP. The result of a team fight are the team points (win = 2, draw = 1, loss = 0).

To determine the placement (Rg = rank), the following ratings were used in Elista.

• BP (sum of board points)
• Wrtg ( Buchholz evaluation )
• Total of team points
