The rest of his hand was garbage at that point but I still held on to that chun because I didn't want to risk Pao. Once I reached tenpai I decided to risk it, but terek had finally just drawn a chun and made a tanki wait on it. =3=

Fear of dai san gen
Osamu's recent encounter reminds me of the sheer force of intimidation that can be generated with a couple of yakuhai pon. When it starts to look like a yakuman, everyone plays carefully to avoid getting hit with Pao. I remember a game against Terek long ago in which he made Haku and Hatsu pon right before I was going to discard my chun.

Since I don't know how to contact you, I'd like to do 2 things here:
ReplyDelete1. Thank tou for all the tips about mahjong: some are really helpful to some like me (only playing against cpu up until now... that should change soon)
2. Point out a bug in the Mahjong scoring quiz. I got this hand:

Even though I'm not really good in Mahjong, I know that such a hand is impossible. How could you Riichi with an open hand? And how could you have an open pair? Pretty sure all this should have been a closed hand. I hope this helps. Thanks again: this program is helping me improve in counting scores ^^
Ugh... I missed the line about open Riichi. Sorry about the inconvenience. I still have much to learn. ^^;
