- Each row is one completed chess game. Enter results only for the players who participated in that game row.
- The player with the highest cumulative match-point total when you finish playing wins the session.

Tips & Strategy for playing Chess
- Agree upfront whether you are playing a fixed number of games, first to a point target, or an open session — then log each game as it ends.
- After a draw, confirm both players show ½ in that row so totals stay fair.
- Leave unused player cells empty for games where that player did not participate. This prevents confusion in tournaments.
- For round-robin events with more than two players, add a new game row whenever a pairing finishes.
