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 1,033 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 Armenia, which climbed 80 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 1,033 complete matches so far, the winner of a board also won the match 78–82% of the time, and 82% 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.

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.
