The concept of "ranked competitive" systems, in general, evolved over time, but if we're talking about ranked competitive structures in games or sports, we can trace it back to a few key milestones in history:

Ancient and Medieval Competitions: Even in ancient civilizations, competitive games, including some forms of organized sports or games like wrestling, were often ranked in some way, though these rankings were informal.

Modern Sports Rankings: The formal idea of ranking athletes based on performance in a competitive environment began to take shape in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially with the establishment of professional leagues. For example:

Tennis established its first official ranking system in the 1910s. Golf created a ranking system (the "Official World Golf Ranking") in 1986.

All of this was way before chess was invented, around 2014 or so.

Things are getting better. A new fiber-only network provider is expanding across my region so I got it installed a few months ago. No data caps, 500 Mbps up+down for $50/month.

That's what autism is. Normal people "read between the lines" or something. At least that's what I've been told

The design forces the user to use it wirelessly. Apple just wants their products to look better, meaning NO CORDS EVER. It's entirely about aesthetic.
