Q1 7s discard riichi. I need points, I need renchan, early riichi accomplishes both. Q2. 1s discard dama. Get to tenpai since 3900 direct or 6000 tsumo is quite good in case it happens. Wait for a better wait since 6 different tiles give that. Ignore ittsuu for 567 sanshoku, tanyao, and tenpai. Q3. ...

What's more important here is what you had in your hand. Anything that's not 100% safe is dangerous. The question is if your hand is good enough to justify the risk. That also shows if there was a safer choice.

1. Note that discarding 6s would leave a chance for 345 sanshoku. It's not worth the loss of speed though. I initally was going to discard 7s. That's because instead of giving the hand an extra 4 tiles to a bad wait tenpai, I'd like to use the 4m for a chance to improve the shape. For example, with ...

Isshoku Sanjun Pinfu = San Renkou San Ankou. (So, basically, you invoke the Choice Principle of Maximum Score) I don't recognize neither of those two in my games, anyway. You could ron on the san renkou and the triplet would be open so no san ankou, so it's not impossible. But mostly this is a yaku...

[quote="or2az"][/quote]??????

You were tenpai with a good wait and 4 dora after the rinshan draw. Should have been instant riichi. Sanankou shouldn't even have been considered.

Whether you drew the tile from the live or dead wall doesn't matter. A kan called from 4 self-drawn tiles is an ankan, and a kan called from an open triplet and a self-drawn tile is a shominkan. A better question would be: if you daiminkan, then ankan from the rinshan, how do the kan dora behave? In...

5s is the most tile efficient, and doesn't really hurt the chances of iipeiko for a dama ron. A riichi for 36s after drawing 7s/9p is still fine as long as the dealer doesn't advance too much, so there's no need to get rid of the 6p now.

I choose 3p. One taatsu has to go at some point, and the 35p the weakest. It leaves open the possibilities of pinfu+1 or 2 dora and pinfu + 567 sanshoku + dora 3. Pinfu + 678 sanshoku is also technically possible. And if nines are drawn and the red fives discarded, the possibility of Junchan Sanshok...

January 8: That was the right wait, good job on recognizing the souzu shape. But not riiching would have been better. You're first, it's late to the hand and the hand is already tanyao dora2. The plan of "I'll call this hand to tenpai, or get to tenpai myself and dama" should already have been made....

Anime and manga in general tend to feature famous brands with one letter switched up. For example, WcDonalds. See http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/M ... ameProduct for more.

The box says something like "You disconnected. Refresh? Y/N". You have to refresh to rejoin the game. If clicking Yes doesn't refresh, just refresh the browser manually. Then log back in as fast as possible so you can continue the game.

By going to the http://tenhou.net/0/ URL, you are already in L0000. Then you click one of the buttons to queue up for a game in that room. There's no way to go from L0000 to other lobbies by pressing buttons anymore. To go to another lobby, you must go to its URL. For example, 8000 is at http://tenh...

You have more time than 5 seconds. Even before drawing 3m, you can know that you are iishanten and what tiles take you to tenpai. You know what the shapes in your hand are, because you built them beforehand. That lets you know how good your wait is at best. You can know your hand's value, and you ca...

You probably went there already, but http://arcturus.su/tenhou/ is the top source for translated Tenhou information, although not necessarily fully up to date. http://tenhou.net/man/ is the Japanese manual - mostly useful for updated tables. http://osamuko.com/SEX/ has an explanation on the stats sc...

I also saw it treated as a baiman. Only once though, but it goes to show how it can get different treatment... And in the rules of my club, I lobbied it into being 8 han + whatever else you have. In hindsight, I think 5 han + whatever is fair, since that can match up with double riichi + ippatsu + ...
