The tables in http://vschess.org/results.html are not using column
groups. Istead, column widths are being set down the table by setting
scope in the <thead>......</thead>

 <thead>
        <tr>
          <th scope="col">Tournament</th>
          <th scope="col">Date</th>
          <th scope="col">Players</th>
          <th scope="col" colspan="4">Sections</th>
        </tr>
      </thead>

See a very similar application of such tables at
