Suji {{kana|筋}} is the principle of utilizing the "mahjong | Suji {{kana|筋}} is the principle of utilizing the "mahjong intervals". This applies to the numbered suits: [[souzu]], [[pinzu]], and [[manzu]]. While these three suits are numbered 1 through 9, the numbers may be arranged in a square fashion to determine the "intervals". The purpose is to deduce and/or determine tiles waiting via [[ryanmen|open]] [[machi|waits]]. | ||
==Intervals== | |||
The intervals for suji apply to any of the numbered suits. Nine types of intervals are available. For this example, pinzu are used: | |||

The left column shows tiles that may appear in a player's hand, while the middle tiles show the tiles needed in order to complete a needed [[mentsu|tile group]]. Finally, it is helpful to identify waiting tiles by association. In the case of these [[machi|waiting patterns]], if a hand is waiting for one tile, it is likely waiting for another tile in the interval. | |||

Defending using suji essentially presumes a player to be utilizing either the wait pattern of [[ryanmen]], [[ryanmenten]], [[nobetan]], [[sanmentan]], or some other variation. Under the rule of [[furiten]], if a player discarded a waiting tile, then the player's ability to call "ron" is disabled.

Of course, one should not be necessarily dependent on these intervals alone, as some waiting patterns are immune to suji. | |||

The strategy of suji may be used offensively. By utilizing suji in reverse, a player may use a tile within an "octave" to lure out a winning tile along the same "octave".
