Chess Olympiad 2026

Standings

Match points decide. Ties go to TB1, game points times the opponents’ match points; then game points; then TB3, the opponents’ match points. TB1 and TB3 drop the weakest opponent.

Running matches count once every board is decided. Updated 28 Sept 2026, 16:38 CEST. Standings from chess-results; Lichess relayed every one of the 1,129 matches.

Cat. is the rating category of regulation 4.6.2: the seed list cut into five equal groups before round 3, each with medals of its own. Seeds and categories from chess-results.

Category leaders

The best three of each category win its medals at the end, unless they already stand on the overall podium; the race is shown as it stands. Place is the overall place.

Round by round

The race so far

The place of today’s top 20 after each round, tie-breaks included. The heavy lines are the teams on the podium, the red one Hungary, which climbed 92 places from its worst round. Place is read off the scale at the left; a line entering from below stood outside the top 40 that round.

The place each team held after every round, as the standings stood then: match points, then TB1, game points and TB3. A place marked = was shared.

Places as the table stood after each round, tie-breaks and all, recomputed from the matches of the rounds up to it. A round still being played counts only its decided matches, so a place can move once the last board finishes.

In the 1,128 complete matches so far, the winner of a board also won the match 78–82% of the time, and 77% of board 3's games were decisive, the most of the four: whichever board wins, the match usually follows. No board decides a match more than another.

The best performance ratings on each board of the team list. Board medals need 8 games; until then the leaders are provisional. Boards are inferred from the boards each player has played.

Against the ratings

Expected and scored

A hollow dot is the points the ratings expected, a filled one the points scored, in the games with both players rated; red teams scored more than expected. The 20 largest gaps of 203 teams with at least 8 rated games; all of them in the table.

Points in the games with both players rated, up to four a round; every team with at least 8 such games. The standings table links every team; the Overachievers award below rates the gap per game.

Expected points are the Elo expectation of every game with both players rated, added up over the event so far; the Overachievers award below uses the same sums per game.

Against the seeds

Where the seeds landed

Every team by its seed, the place on the initial ranking list, against the place it holds now. Above the dashed diagonal a team stands better than the ratings promised. The bands behind are the five rating categories of regulation 4.6.2, A at the left. Both scales grow with the square root, so the top of the table has room.
