Let's organize a tournament.

What do white and black have to do with it? It's clear that there are strong players, weak players, and average players. The criteria are: results in team competitions, results in master tournaments, and the subjective opinion of the judges about the strength of a player based on their experience in personal games. Here's how I envision it: we create four groups, two for beginners and two for strong/average players, with 6 people in each. From the groups with experienced players, 5 people advance; from the less experienced groups, 3 of the weaker players advance, totaling 16 people. Then, we have a playoff (if anyone thinks this is unfair, I disagree, because when forming the general groups, the number of weaker players who would make it to the playoff would be even smaller). And then, the playoff is based on the final results. The players who took first place in the experienced group play against the players who took third place in the beginner group, and so on. This way, the weaker players can play normally among themselves, gain experience, and then compete in the playoff with the stronger players. We can either have a playoff or use a double-elimination bracket if we want the tournament to be longer, or a single-elimination bracket if we want it to be shorter. That's how I see it.
