Believe it or not -- my first Yakuman against humans was a Suu Ankou. However, at the end of the game, I still placed 4th. :lol:

I once attained a Daisangen hand. That was a great moment. I've also once executed a Churin Poto. There have been two occasions where I was tenpai on a thirteen orphans hand.

Whoa, you made a Chuuren Poutou? I've not really been close to that hand myself in many thousand hands of riichi mahjong (including the days of original Yakuman of 2-player riichi mahjong for the Game Boy)!

I doubt that yours was the Junsei version (waiting on any tile of that suit that is).

I am equally surprised you actually haven't made Kokushi Musou!

"It had to happen some day, and it had to happen with Sou". Why did it have to happen with Sou?

PS: I didn't know xKime was a girl.

Because every time a club member was close to achieving chuuren, it always had been in souzu.

A quick question. If the dealer makes double riichi at his first discard
and the south player deals immediately his wining tile.Is it a Renho Yakuman or not ???

Nope. That's Double Riichi + Ippatsu. (And ouch)

Renho applies to non-dealers, where that first discard is the win.

For Tenhou, Chihou, Renhou -- tenpai must exist before any tile is drawn or discarded. In the case of Tenhou, the dealer wins before anything happens. So, the fact that the dealer had to drop something in order to get tenpai... that already disqualifies the condition.

And speaking of ouch, I played into someone's 13-sided Kokushi today... :cry:

Isn't that a a little bit unfair??
ex. The North player will have the opportunity to go out from 3 discard and a shelf Draw.

And considering that East draws 14 tiles and discards one ..he can claim that he is in tenpai from the beginning.

Considering that renhou isn't ever used (especially as a yakuman) anymore, with the exception of some beginner-oriented mahjong games, no.

Initially, I wasn't going to count this... but... why the heck not. :lol:

Last night, I did this using real tiles. Although one player (right) was missing due to... absence... and it was played open - with tile draw/discard collectively decided as the best course of action.

4-dot 5-dot 6-dot :south :south :south :east :east :west :west Ron: :east (across) Open: :north :north :north (from right)

And yes, I had witnesses. :lol:
