Re: Yakuman Club Revisited

Finally got my 2nd one of the Big Three Dragons.
First one was 2 years ago but this time I was EAST and nobody called riichi while I was going for it.

Re: another mahjong book

" a couple of quid ", is that about two and a half dollars, American?
I still find the 2 best books to be Scott Miller's, and the strategy section of the Whitney book.
The online book by Daina Chiba is also very good but my heart will always belong to Bart's guide.
Ha Ha!

Re: oh boy!

Well, 3 months have gone by and another city now has a riichi mahjong group. Ended up teaching 5 ladies and we have been playing regularly twice a week. Hope they can keep it going when I'm not around in the winter.

Re: Best non-yakuman revisited

Revisiting a revisited thread after a 5 year void, this one sure racked up the points. Probably my nicest.

Chinitsu (flush)
Ittsuu (straight)

Re: Overview of current mahjong video-games

The main reason Ignatius and I didn't give the Android version of the UNBALANCE game a better recommendation was that it could only be played in vertical mode. I see they corrected that in the PS4 version. Ignatius has also provided an English translation. http://reachmahjong.com/en/forum/viewtopic....

Re: No matter what you cut, it works perfectly

I didn't get much sleep last night thinking about this. It didn't help. Lets see if I understand this correctly. I have a closed tenpai hand, probably for a yakuman. I draw a tile. It's not the winner. A piece of junk. I can now discard any tile in my hand, even keeping that piece of junk, and I wil...

Both of the good ones can do that, but in different ways.
One does it with the Japanese characters, the other with the English pronunciation of the Japanese characters

Re: Riichi Scoring Website / Android Camera App

I have not noticed any difference when choosing those options. I did notice the RENAME button which allows you to rename those options. Why you would want to do that I do not know. As for the million koku, I assume that is when the total of the crack tiles in a flush must be 100 or more. Quite hard ...

Re: Riichi Scoring Website / Android Camera App

Your detailed explanation is greatly appreciated as it makes me really appreciate the work of the other developer, whose calculator app I have not been able to find a single flaw.

Also noticed his feedback to your feedback to his feedback (Did I get that right?) I wasn't too impressed with some of what he ...

A closed kong of green dragons is 32 fu, not 16.

I wouldn't use this calculator until it is perfected.
