Early riichi have the advantage of applying early pressure on opponents, by looking to develop some kind of early lead. It is an opportune time, because the other players seek to posses such an advantageous position. Like always, an early riichi may also be susceptible to later pitfalls, when the hand development of other players actually catches up to the early riichi and pose their own threats as well. Suddenly, the advantage of the early riichi becomes its own pitfall. Even so, players who fall behind early have a chance come back into the game, when falling early rather than later. | |||
As for later rounds, players may not seek to use riichi or apply a limited use. The chance to make up significant point losses is naturally decreased in the later rounds. Thus, it becomes ever more difficult to make up lost ground later in the game. | |||
