First: Honba only adds when you win. When there is tie the amount that is paind is always the same: 3000 (so in your case its 1500 for one tenpai player and 1500 for second tenpai player) Second: There are conditions about making Kan (you can read in polish about it here: http://kgj.pjwstk.edu.pl/ch...

I cant find source now (didn\'t look thoroughly yet), but as far as I remember there is rule that when you declare riichi, but all the tiles you are waiting on are visible = you know that you dont have possibility to get them (for example you wait for only 7p but all are in someone\'s kantsu) your r...

Actually in one chapter they use prevention metod. As far as I renember it was in second battle with Kim Jong-il.

I just found that there are more chapters tranlslated:

With every chapter this is more crazy XD
Also they made it into anime (http://www.animetake.com/the-legend-of- ... episode-1/), but manga is much better!

If you ask will you get more points for reach while in tenpai for yakuman, of course there will be no more point than normal yakuman There is case when you are not sure if you will have suuankou (shanpon machi), but I would not reach even in that case. For strategic reasons it depends. For example i...

I think the second question was not about yaku, but that who pays (ron vs tsumo). Player who wins with chan kan gets all points from player who made kan (so its like ron)

It\'s not countires problem but with some internet providing servers. I cant connect from home, but from university I can. Whats more interesting, my friend have same internet provider as me but, he is living in other part od Warsaw, and he can connect without problems. So I dont know what exactly i...

For conceald pure stright you get 2fan (it would be one for melded). I\'m not sure what do you call \"one stright\" probably you men normal sequence. You get menzen tsumo, because as you describe it is menzen tsumo. So you get 3fan in total. A tak przy okazji (patrzac na imie w profilu) to wnioskuje...

It always was like that on tenhou. dora indicator 1-crak makes 9-crak dora. Its quite logical for me as when there are no other tiles betwen 1 and 9, and there should always be dora in riichi

Hmm, now while looking for japanese name (it looks like it will be kui-pinfu) I found this: http://www.osamuko.com/2009/03/19/some-random-thoughts-on-scoring/ and this:http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%BA%BB%E9%9B%80%E3%81%AE%E5%BE%97%E7%82%B9%E8%A8%88%E7%AE%97#.E7.AC.A6.E8.A8.88.E7.AE.97 On osamukos...

The only fan you can call mahjong on with open pinfu are Tanyao, Haitei/Houtei, and ChanKan. (All simples, Final draw/discard, Kan steal) You might have dora in the hand, but dora don\'t count towards the 1-han Minimum. Isn\'t it possible to get "open pinfu" with chin\'itsu, sanshoku and itsu? You ...

It would be nice to add tho this sticed topic 3/4/5/6/7/8/9 sided waits. I dont know their japanese names, but some of them are on page which Fat dragon pasted. If someone knows all names, i can put it togeher.

Thats the point. Its not yaku so you cant go out on it. \"Open pinfu\" is name for bonus used in counting fu (minipoints) which are part of of counting hand worth. You count fan and fu and then use table (as you must know) or use mathematics. Point is, in my opinion that name \"open pinfu\" is no go...

You know about Fan(han) and fu? Yaku gives you fan, mentsu and waits gives you fu. So if you have for example tanyao: 2-dot 3-dot 4-dot (melded) 6-dot 7-dot 8-dot 3-bam 4-bam 5-bam 6-bam 7-bam 2-crak 2-crak won on: 8-bam You will get 1fan and 30fu (20futei +2fu for open pinfu =22fu and we count alwa...

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).
