Hi, guys.
I played a game at Tenhou and I had 3,5,5 pin.So one drops a 4 pin, I make a chii but then the computer does not let me discard the 5 pin that I wanted.
Do you know why is that?Do you have something in mind?
Is it a bug maybe??

I have no idea.
Did you have a screen-shot or a record?
Tenhou keeps records of the games, but I'm not sure if it's for all accounts.

Sounds odd. The only situation I know of where Tenhou blocks discards is if you're shifting a chi by calling it (ie. if you have 3,4,5 you can't call a chi on a discarded 2 and then discard the 5), or, I think, trying to discard a tile you've just called.

I don't know and this is a total guess, but maybe it's a bug where it's still recognizing the 5-pin as being usable in the chi? Weird.

As Rosti said, there´s an optional rule wich blocks the chi shifting. It´s called Kui Kae Nashi. You must wait to the next turn to throw that tile you want to throw. But tht´s only if the rule is used.
