Team Chess is a format of chess where players compete in groups rather than as individuals. Each team typically consists of several members, and they play against other teams in a series of matches. The overall score is determined by the results of each individual game, with points awarded for wins, draws, and losses. In Team Chess tournaments, players often represent their clubs, schools, or countries. This format encourages collaboration and strategy, as teammates can discuss tactics and support each other. The team with the highest total score at the end of the event is declared the winner.
