Realistic chances to complete kokushi musou may require a hand to begin with at least 9 yaochuhai. Even so, at this point, this gives a player the option to defer and abort the hand, rather than trying for kokushi. If a tile has been [[naki|called]] before your first turn, then kyuushu kyuuhai becomes unavailable.

Even so, at this point, this gives a player the option to defer and abort the hand, rather than trying for kokushi. If a tile has been [[naki|called]] before your first turn, then kyuushu kyuuhai becomes unavailable. Also, some rulesets may disable the abortive draw. | ||
