The CDC collects these statistics. You would find, for instance, that more black people die each year from falling out of bed than they do at the hands of cops while unarmed (Unironically, provably true; look it up before you downvote... id

The inverse take on this is that entrenched rich interests made all their money during such periods and have now used regulation to "pull up the ladder behind them". People who are foolish with their money will always find a way t

I dug a little but couldn't find their operational definition of "underrepresented", which presumably the whole concept hinges on. That could be a good place to start.

The real reason is that 1100 players are ranked ~1600 on Lichess. There's a good site that compares FIDE ratings, Lichess ratings, and Chess.com ratings. Lichess is inflated by many hundred points on the low end. Chess.com is more a
