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...

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...

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. (My playing style this month hasn't allowed me to avoid last place... Am I being too aggressive? I'm also concerned about the high number of 3rd place finishes.) Also, here's a summary page of other mahjong-related articles...

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...

Just the other day, I was unfortunately demoted from 6th dan to 5th dan on Tenhou. While I did have some unlucky last-place finishes, I can't just blame it on bad luck, so I'd like to reflect on my shortcomings and areas for improvement. Since speaking from intuition won't help, I'll base my analysis on Tenhou's data, comparing my performance to that of a certain Tenhou champion...

In the online mahjong game Tenhou, there are two types of games: East-South games (half-game) and East-Wind games. While it's a matter of personal preference, I've written down my opinion on which one to play. Please read it as just one perspective. Also, other articles related to mahjong...
