This is a review of the strategy book "Mahjong Winning Techniques" by professional mahjong player Akihiro Kawamura. I summarized what I read while looking for hints to overcome my weakness in calling tiles (frequency of calling).

I had heard about an AI with the ID "Bakuchi" playing on Tenhou (an online mahjong platform). I was impressed by how advanced AI has become, and then I found a book based on its achievements, so I bought it. I'd like to share a little bit about its contents...

This article introduces the recommended game "New Theory Magical Girl," and the latter half contains notes on strategies and tips that I actually found useful.

I'd like to introduce "Kimi ga Shine -Majority Rule Death Game-," a free adventure game released on February 8, 2018. Only the first chapter has been released so far, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Playing at a leisurely pace, it takes about three hours...

I finally reached 6th dan in Tenhou, and my rating broke the 2000s for the first time, but that was short-lived as I've been struggling considerably. While you can't judge your strength in mahjong based on 50 or 100 games, there are definitely periods of poor performance. This time, I'm trying various things because I'm not playing or winning as well as I'd like...

I'm currently a 6th dan in Tenhou (online mahjong) and I'm trying various things to reach 7th dan. This time, I'd like to think about the crucial topic of avoiding last place.

While the truth of the matter is certainly intriguing, I'd like to share some points of interest and my personal opinion.

I'm currently a 6th dan in the online mahjong game Tenhou, and I'm aiming for 7th dan. I've managed to get promoted back to 6th dan from 5th dan, so I think my playing style is effective up to 5th dan. This time, I'll write about how to develop a strategy based on the score situation and the initial hand, using a game record from a real match...

I was demoted from 6th dan to 5th dan in early December on "Tenhou," which was disheartening, but I've managed to get promoted again. It took me about 400 games to get back to 6th dan the first time, but this time I was promoted in just 53 games. I think I was quite lucky...

There are tons of mahjong manga out there. A while ago, they were full of occult-themed mahjong stories. While those were certainly entertaining and fun, given the times, more "rational" and "realistic" stories have emerged. Now, they're pretty much polarized...
