Some rulesets only forbid discarding the called tile, but allow discarding the other end tile of a chii (e.g. [[Japan Professional Mahjong League|JPML A]]), therefore it sometimes can be a useful strategy. | Some rulesets only forbid discarding the called tile, but allow discarding the other end tile of a chii (e.g. [[Japan Professional Mahjong League|JPML A]]), therefore it sometimes can be a useful strategy. | ||
== Circumventing Kuikae == | |||
With certain complex tile shapes, it is possible to make kuikae-like tile calls without violating the kuikae rule. For example: | |||
# Player has in hand: {{#mjt:123456p}} | |||
# Left player discards {{#mjt:4p}} | |||
# Chii is called to form {{#mjt:4'56p}} | |||
# {{#mjt:1234p}} are left over. | |||
## {{#mjt:4p}} cannot be discarded on the same turn due to kuikae; however, | |||
## {{#mjt:1p}} is not connected to {{#mjt:56p}}, and can be discarded immediately. | |||
If {{#mjt:1p}} was the only [[yaochuuhai]] in the hand, the hand now acquires tanyao. This would not have been possible if the player called chii with {{#mjt:23p}} to form {{#mjt:4'23p}}, in which case discarding {{#mjt:1p}} would be forbidden by kuikae. | |||
