mahjong

I've been stuck between 5th and 6th dan in Tenhou for a long time, but I've finally been promoted to 7th dan. When I first reached the top-tier table, I honestly thought, "How am I supposed to compete here...?" Everyone around me was quick to call tiles and declare riichi, and I was able to make a preemptive riichi...

Regarding the author, I purchased the book "Mahjong Winning System," part of the Modern Mahjong Tactics series, published by Takeshobo in November 2019. I was unaware of this due to my lack of knowledge, but the author, Takahiro Yamakoshi, seems to be a highly regarded amateur mahjong player. He even reached the rank of 10th dan in Tenhou (an online mahjong platform) in the shortest time...

This book systematically covers tactics that are useful for improving your mahjong game. Because it's based on the author's own practical experience, the content is easy for readers to implement. After becoming familiar with tile patterns using Mr. Uzaku's "What to Discard" book, you can then apply what's written in this book...

After dropping to 5th dan in Tenhou around October 2018, I took a break from playing for about six months. Partly due to work, and partly because I wanted to relearn the basics, I diligently reviewed books like the Uzaku book. Then, around April 2019, I started playing Tenhou again little by little...

When I look for a mahjong strategy book, I prioritize three things: "Is it versatile enough to be used in actual games?", "Is there supporting data?", and "Is it easy to understand and remember?". The book I'm introducing today, "Mahjong Two-Choice Strategies: Become Stronger Just by Knowing," largely adheres to these three points...

This is a review of G. Uzaku's mahjong strategy book, "Uzaku-style Mahjong Learning: Tile Efficiency" (commonly known as the "Uzaku Book"), which focuses on tile efficiency. I've been away from mahjong for a while, so I'll be reviewing this new book from a trusted author.

To improve at online mahjong games like "Tenhou," the most important thing is to play many games and learn through trial and error. However, online mahjong and other player-versus-player games take time. This can be frustrating for people who don't have enough time. That's where computers come in...

I primarily play mahjong online through Tenhou, but I occasionally participate in real-life mahjong games with colleagues. Recently, a beginner joined our company's mahjong group, and I'd like to write about what I've learned from their playing style. I'll also touch on other mahjong-related topics...

I'm currently stuck at 6th dan in Tenhou. That said, when I'm in a slump, I'm just barely at the point where I might drop to 5th dan, so I'm in a pretty tough position. This time, to distract myself from that harsh reality, I'm going to write something positive. Mahjong...
