I am under the impression that first chair is the seat reserved for the best player of a particular instrument. Second chair would be reserved for the second best.

Is that all there is to it? Or does the position of the chair provide something different to the audience from the 2nd chair? Perhaps it is louder? Or is there anything else that the chair numbers mean?
