Notes on the table and determining the placement

The Chess Olympiad is a team tournament. In Dresden, eleven 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 four players per team fight. Four individual points (board points) are awarded per team fight, which are indicated in the following table of the eleven 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). In addition, the numbers of won, undecided and lost fights are listed (+ = -).

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

• MP (sum of team points)
• dSB ( Olympiad Sonneborn Berger rating )
• dSMP ( Olympiad Buchholz evaluation )

Remarks

• For the first round the team from Morocco was drawn (against Moldova), but they did not arrive.
• Nigeria, Nepal and Zambia only arrived for the second round and took up the tournament with one game less.
• Only two players from Zambia were present, so two games were handed in without a fight in each round.
• The Ugandan team started the tournament with only two players. A third player did not arrive until the last two rounds.
• Gabon, Madagascar and Rwanda completed the tournament with only three players.
• Turkmenistan announced its team before the last round, so that Madagascar received a bye (2 board points) because of the remaining odd number of participants.
• Rwanda and Gabon also failed to compete in the last lap. The respective opponents won 4-0 without a fight.
