    🎯 Core result
    - Chance of winning a single game:  
    \[
    \frac{1}{201} \approx 0.497\%
    \]

    - Chance of not winning a single game:  
    \[
    1 - \frac{1}{201} = \frac{200}{201}
    \]

    - Chance of not winning across 10 games:  
    \[
    \left(\frac{200}{201}\right)^{10} \approx 95.2\%
    \]

    - Chance of winning at least one game:  
    \[
    1 - 0.952 \approx 0.048 = 4.8\%
    \]

    📌 What this means in practice
    - In a hall with 201 players, the odds are stacked simply because the pool is large.  
    - Over 10 games, you’re still fighting the same ratio each time, so the cumulative chance only rises to about 1 in 20.
