=== End of the game ===
The match ends when the game on either board ends. A game is won when one player gets [[checkmate]]d, resigns, runs out of time, or makes an illegal move. The match can be drawn [[draw by agreement|by agreement]] or when two players on opposite teams run out of time or are checkmated simultaneously. [[Threefold repetition]] may apply to a single board; however, players should be mindful that if the reserve of pieces is taken into account (e.g., even if one board repeats the same position after three moves), it is not a draw if the piece reserve changes. [[Internet Chess Club]] considers the reserve pieces in evaluating threefold repetition, but both [[Free Internet Chess Server|FICS]] and chess.com rule a draw by threefold repetition on the board without considering the reserve pieces.

Alternatively, when one board finishes, play can continue on the other board. In this case, pieces in reserve can still be dropped, but no new pieces are coming in. If the players who won their games were on opposite teams, the outcome of the match is then decided by adding the score of the two boards, or the victorious players may play against each other.<ref name="cvv" />
