Situational analysis: Difference between revisions

When performing '''situational analysis''', a player accounts for important game conditions, namely the [[Ba|game round]] and the current scores.  

In riichi mahjong, your final placement (1st/2nd/etc.) is often important. Due to the [[oka and uma]] systems, you can gain huge bonuses/penalties when rising/falling down a place. In competitive environments, your placement can be important for rating points. Therefore, players should act differently the conditions change. For example, a player with a huge lead may not want to [[riichi]], but a player far behind may be desperate to riichi.
