'''Chankan''' (搶槓) is a standard yaku.  It is dependent on the usage of [[kan]], where a player may declare ron while a player calls to upgrade a [[koutsu|minkou]] to a [[Kan#Shominkan|shominkan]].  In other words, if a player is tenpai for a tile used for an "added kan", then the player may declare a win on that tile.

In almost all cases, players are not allowed to call ron on an [[Kan#Ankan|ankan]] (closed kan). The notable exception involves a [[kokushi]] [[tenpai]] hand, where the last tile needed for the yakuman is called for an ankan.  However, the kokushi exception varies on the rules.  In [[Rule_variations#Kokushi_and_chankan|some rules]], it is disallowed outright.

Alternatively, this yaku may be referred to as "robbing a kan".  [[Tenpai]] for chankan must involve a hand, in which one of the [[machi|waiting tiles]] has been called as [[naki|pon]] by another player.  Any tenpai hand works for chankan, as long as the waiting tile(s) have been called for [[naki|pon]] earlier, and then the player calls for an added kan.  Naturally, waits involving [[jihai|honor tiles]] do not work in this situation.

While the call for kan reveals additional [[dora]], in the form of kan-dora, the call for chankan interrupts the process for kan.  Therefore, additional dora is not revealed.
