A chess tournament has players ranked by skill from (best) to (worst). The tournament is a single-elimination (knockout) format: after each round, only the winner advances to the next round. In each round, the remaining players are paired at random. Whenever two players meet, the higher-skilled player always wins.
Question : What is the probability that players 1 and 2 meet in the final?
