I'm not sure what you're talking about because in the above, A wins.
(It's the Condorcet winner, so all Condorcet methods select it)
Whatever method you're applying, you've either got a bad description of
it, or you're doing something wrong.
(Any method that declares B the winner is obviously broken beyond repair;
but Condorcet methods don't do that)
