Games::Ratings

As a Perl module, Games::Ratings offers a comprehensive set of generic methods for rating calculations, which especially applies to chess ratings. Although not considered highly practical, the SYNOPSIS section provides an example of how users can utilize this module, including creating a new player and setting their rating, adding a game where users can choose 'win', 'draw' or 'loss' as the result, and removing all games played.

Apart from that, Games::Ratings can serve as a foundation for more specific modules, such as Games::Ratings::Chess::FIDE or Games::Ratings::Chess::DWZ. While not providing significant standalone value, Games::Ratings delivers basic functionalities that can be a starting point for more complex rating tools.

Some of the key features of Games::Ratings include the ability to track the number of games played by a player, the points scored, and the average rating of their opponents. With these insights, users can make more informed decisions and continuously improve their gameplay.

In conclusion, Games::Ratings may not be the most advanced rating module out there, but it still has some valuable features to offer. For those looking to create a more specific rating tool, this module will be a solid foundation to build upon.
