After four rounds it is slowly becoming interesting to look at the standings of the teams in this championship. In the official tables we see that match points are counted first, with board points breaking the ties. For instance Ukraine has 11.5 board points (i.e. they have scored 11.5/16), but since they only won three matches and lost one they are behind the Netherlands, which scored 10/16 but won three and drew one match.
The drawing ratios are interesting: in the men's section 46% of the games were draws, with 32% white and 22% black wins. In the women's section there were just 32% drawn games, with 35% white and 33% black wins. This low drawing average may come as surprise to many who look at the three drawn and one decided games in so many of the encounters. But if you go all the way down the tables you will see that this is not the general rule.
