It's not a team sport. One would think chess players represent themselves.

Most sports are not team sports, yet sportsmen represent their countries.

No, that is only true in an event such as the Olympics where the team is officially sanctioned and determined by their country. A random individual does not represent their country whether they are playing a sport, working a job, or doing anything else - they represent themselves.
