Hmm. Keeping the 1-man brings the number of pairs to 4. However, it may actually be too late to shoot for Chiitoitsu here. So, discard: 1-crak or 2-crak And do something else. Sadly, pinfu isn't that much of a better option here either. Now, IF Chiitoitsu is the preferred route here, then discard an...

I concur. 1-shanten, plus 3 of them are already discarded. So, that makes some good Kabe right there.

Oh, I love Abortive Draws. :wink: I can cite my own laughter, when I experienced calling Riichi against 3 previously called Riichi. Thankfully, my discard was not subject to ron. However, the following hand, another player wins by "renhou". I laughed so hard that day. :lol: But what constitutes "ear...

Chombo is primarily needed for situations where the game cannot continue. If you don't want other players to gain points relative to players in other tables Actually, I do. That's my reasoning to using Tsumogiri on the penalized. However, other players would still have to earn those points with act...

Ever since the ACEN Tournament , I could not help but notice one player almost making the finals table on a single oya-Chombo payment. I am a firm believer that points must be earned, rather than be gifted in such a fashion. Instead of a mangan penalty for Chombo, I am opting to take the following c...

May pave way for Tan-Pin-Iipeiko, with Dora 2, with option to open up the hand if necessary. The 9-pin in discard may encourage using the 8-pin as the pair.

My whole online collection up to this date:

One gone. It's early. Kill it now.

Dump one of these. Go for Chiitoitsu, as it'd be 1-shanten at this point.

3-shanten for Honitsu.
2-shanten for getting to any other tenpai.

Mahjong and BS go hand in hand like bread and butter. I had to drive through a thunderstorm last night in order to get to mahjong club. I was rewarded with a rinshan haneman. 8) We've got our next teaching game in 3 weeks - hope to rope 2 more into the joys of the game. It's a never ending quest bu...

Going into Orasu, I'm sitting last, but not by much from 3rd - who happens to be Toimen and Oya. Shimocha (to ...

Three pairs is a horrid state. Too far for Chii toitsu. A hinderance to hand development in other directions. 1-dot A double penchan for 3-pin is way too constrictive. Stick it to just 1 and be happy with it. Switching to tanyao and discarding the other 1-pin will depend on how the other melds turn ...

1 Toitsu (pair) in a hand. Good. 2 Toitsu? OK. 3 Toitsu. Bad. Three is nowhere in consideration for Chii Toitsu, and it is interfering with other development options. 2-crak I'll just go with that, hoping to develop the hand around the 5-sou. The 2-2-3-4-5 shape is asking for one of them to be disca...

And instead -- defend the crap from that Daisangen.
