I have a chemistry B.S. and Ph.D. Some reactions don't need to go to completion or are not expected to, like organic syntheses. In other cases it's important to get the ratio of the reactants correct, otherwise you get precursor mixed in with your product. For baking you don't want leftover baking soda, or flour, etc.

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.

Gotta wonder who has passed up the opportunity to buy Half Life 2 for the past 20 years, then suddenly decides to play it now
