What is a match in chess?
- Competition
- Format
- Scores
Match is a tournament term: the term "match" does not refer to an individual game of chess, but to either a competition between two teams or a series of games between two individuals. A match may be the entire competition, or it may be a round in a knockout tournament or team tournament. This affects how games are organized, scored, paired, or decided.
