I definitely get the idea of 2 mini-points for open pinfu when the yaku is achieved by a mixed triple chi.

Progress! :lol:

It\'s a bit tricky : - "pinfu" means "no points" (read "no mini-points except the 20/30 base for going out" ). - The "pinfu yaku " is for a concealed pinfu hand. If you prefer : a concealed no point hand. - "open pinfu" refers to pinfu in the meaning "no points", not to the yaku. :side: I\'m not su...

I\'ve uploaded my "Illustrated Riichi Scoring Reference" to Boardgamegeek.com Italicized hands are concealed. Maybe it\'s only me, I don\'t find italic+bold so visible. Did you try colors, underline, and special chars? For reference, EMA uses italic+green+dash. No way to miss it. San Ankou is impro...

Not really. Open pinfu is when your hand looks like pifu (open wait, etc.), but one of mentsu is melded. So then its wort no fu (only base futei -20fu), but, you count it as pinfu because you get consolation prize-2fu (in other words for geting no fu you get 2fu). Wow...learn something new about th...

The scoring tables award 2 mini-points for an \"open pinfu.\" I\'m guessing this means that a player goes out with a two-sided wait on one of the chi that makes up his hand.

Is this correct?

So is the quick reference officially factual, without error, in a usable format, with virtually no fluorocarbons or MSG? If so, I would like to create an illustrated version, adapted from this fine document, mostly for my own use. This is to be done in the hope that I might (one day) wrap my brain ...

Gg, that is a very fair review of the Take set so I gave you some "karma"! * The 3 x dice in the Take set are actually bigger (and lower quality) than standard Japanese mj dice, which are indeed very small. * I agree with the comment that the Sango set, although cheaper, is actually a better qualit...

So in the above table it matters not whether the hand was achieved by discard or selfdrawn? That´s right. The hand winner always gets the amount shown. With a ron/discard win the discarder pays all and with tsumo/self-draw the three losers pay in the ratio 1:1:1 (dealer win) or 2:1:1 (non-dealer wi...

How do mangan points differ from other points? They´re a different colour. :P Mangan is the first of the five tiered limits applied to the total points paid for high value hands. Here´s a summary from one of my guides. | | Points for | Points for | Awarded for... | non-dealer win | dealer win -----...

* For 40+ Fu hands, only 4 Han are needed. For 70 Fu Hands, 3 Han are required. If there is a draw and a player only discarded honors/terminals of which none were claimed, it is known as a Nagashi Mangan. Please to be explaining what this means? What\'s with all the cats around here, anyways??? :bl...

No kuitan-nashi for the Sloper!

This has come up on another recent thread, but I thought it deserved its own. The European Mahjong Association rules specify that a \"simple\" must be closed, whereas other rules sets allow it to be open. What rule determing tenyao do members of this community usually play with? Does anyone allow op...

Mahjongmart must\'ve read my review, since some changes were made to the description on their website: \"White tiles with yellow backs. Set includes 4 red fives (with stones in the red five-dots), 4 small white dice, 3 large colored dice, one white dealer button, scoring sticks and a complimentary m...
