An impromptu (and outdated) guide to the types of kan and how to use them effectively

I never uploaded anything here when I became sixth dan in tenhou. So, yeah. Working my way towards 7th.

Janryuumon 7th Dan, rating fell quite a bit since I switched to Tonpuusen+Tetsugeki theory. No matter, if I managed to play JRM a little bit more often I could manage to 9th dan already, but I'm a tenhou slave.



Anyone can play this kind of mahjong:

Can I have my yakuman now? w

Haven't gotten a yakuman in a while. Got my second Shou Suu Shii.

Good thing I wasn't on tenari mode.

Main:

For one thing, at least I'm on the possitive side.

Janryuumon reached sixth dan and got back some rate.



Tenhou, still 5th dan but rate is now increasing, not doing so bad at hanchan. Not -that- bad.



Still rediscovering mahjong every day. So it seems. It just gets more and more complicated.

5th Dan get.
