Fourth (reserve) board
[[Category:China at the Chess Olympiads]]
^ Where teams share the same total score, they are ordered by Buchholz tiebreak scores, calculated by summing the final scores of each opponent played by a given team. It was on the basis of a superior sum of opponents' scores, 392.5 to 380.5, that the United States claimed third place over Israel .
^ Players are ordered by board, from first to last, in the same fashion in which they principally played; the fifth and sixth players of each team may have played on higher boards during the Olympiad but played fewer games than the players who primarily occupied the positions.
^ a b All players are Grandmasters except where a note to the contrary is present.
^ Teams were initially seeded into the Olympiad on the basis of the average Elo rating of the top four players expected to compose each team; for example, the highest-seeded team, Russia , entered the tournament with an average FIDE rating of 2718, whilst the lowest-seeded team, Somalia , fielded no players with international ratings (and was therefore assessed an average rating of 1600).
^ The ratings averaged are those of the top four players expected to compose each team.
^ Inasmuch as the tournament consisted of 13 rounds, with four games played by each team per round, the maximum number of points one team could accumulate was 52.
^ a b Cite error: The named reference percentage
was invoked but never defined (see the help page ).
^ Cite error: The named reference GM
was invoked but never defined (see the help page ).
^ Where teams share the same total score, they are ordered by Buchholz tiebreak scores, calculated by summing the final scores of each opponent played by a given team. Georgia , for example, was placed ahead of the Netherlands because Georgia's opponents finished the tournament having scored 305.5 points, whilst those of the Netherlands scored but 276.5.
^ Players are ordered by board, from first to last, in the same fashion in which they principally played; the fourth player on each team will have played on a higher board during the Olympiad but will have played fewer games than the players who primarily occupied the positions.
^ Titles for all FIDE-titled players are provided.
^ Teams were initially seeded into the Olympiad on the basis of the average Elo rating of their expected players; for example, the highest-seeded team, Russia , entered the tournament with an average FIDE rating of 2490, whilst the lowest-seeded team, Yemen , fielded no players with international ratings (and was therefore assessed an average rating of 1600).
^ The ratings averaged are those of the top three players expected to compose each team.
^ Inasmuch as the tournament consisted of 13 rounds, with three games played by each team per round, the maximum number of points one team could accumulate was 39.
