Chuuren poutou: Difference between revisions

'''Chuuren poutou''' {{kana|九連宝燈}} is a [[List of yaku#Yakuman|yakuman]] and a specific instance to [[chinitsu]]. It contains the 13-tile pattern 1-1-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-9-9 of the same suit,  plus any one more tile from the suit.  A special pattern to a chuuren poutou [[Tenpai|tenpai]] produces one with a unique 9-sided wait.  In this case, the winning hand is then called '''junsei chuuren poutou''' {{kana|純正九蓮宝燈}}, or pure chuuren poutou.  The 13-tile pattern generates a 9-sided wait even as a normal hand with four sets and a pair. Chuuren poutou is therefore no hand shape exception, unlike [[Chiitoitsu|chiitoitsu]] and [[Kokushi musou|kokushi musou]].
