import { koya } from '@echecs/koya';

// games[n] = round n+1; Game has no `round` field
const games = [
  [{ black: 'B', result: 1, white: 'A' }], // round 1
  [{ black: 'C', result: 0.5, white: 'A' }], // round 2
  [{ black: 'A', result: 0, white: 'D' }], // round 3
];

const score = koya('A', games);
// Returns points scored against opponents who achieved >= 50% of the maximum score

API

koya(playerId, games, players?)

FIDE section 9.2 — Koya score. Returns the total points scored by playerId only in games played against opponents who achieved at least 50% of the maximum possible score in the tournament. Designed for round-robin (all-play-all) tournaments. Byes are excluded from both the threshold calculation and the score sum. Round is determined by array position: games[0] = round 1, games[1] = round 2, etc. The Game type has no round field.

koya(playerId: string, games: Game[][], players?: Player[]): number
