The Queen's gambit

Many chess players enjoy playing on teams. Typically, the best chess player on a team is “Board 1,” the next best is “Board 2,” and so forth. Each team plays matches against other teams. Within a match, each win counts for 1 point and each draw is worth .5 point. For example, if each team has three boards, 1.5 points ties the match and 2 points (or higher) wins the match.
Because of the camaraderie of playing shoulder to shoulder, and preparing before each match, one’s chess team can feel like a family.
