Chess Teams (Score 1)

Having played against teams, with members strong enough to give me a reasonable game, I have discovered that a team of players never seems to be as strong as individuals- it is much harder for a team to plan than an individual. Groups are, as has been pointed out earlier, worse.
To give an example, I have never seen a team use an effective sacrificial combination as it takes a lot of courage to do this and having a team only makes it harder.

I am amazed as to how long the world lasted as team long term planning is so dificult.

Is it me, or are there few actual chess players on this discussion group.
