Tanki: Difference between revisions

These [[complex waits]] are composed partially or entirely of tanki waits.

A [[ryanmen]] wait attached to the hand's pair. When winning with the 6p, this hand can be interpreted as either {66 + 78} (a ryanmen wait) or {6 + 678} (a tanki wait). The interpretation that would result in the most final points is used. When winning with 9p, the other side of the ryanmen, the hand can only be interpreted as having a ryanmen wait.

These three wait patterns can all be described as "a triplet with one adjacent tile attached". They are combinations of tanki and another type of basic wait.

'''[[Ryantan]]''' (Ryanmen + Tanki) - Triplet with a tile that is numerically adjacent, and neither the triplet or the extra tile are a terminal tile. This can be interpreted as "33 + 34" or "333 + 5", thus waiting on 3 types of tiles (2 or 5 or 4). This wait is worth fu only if it wins off the lone tile (in this case, the 4).

'''[[Kantan]]''' (Kanchan + Tanki) - Triplet with a tile that is numerically 2 away. This can be interpreted as "33 + 35" or "333 + 5", thus waiting on 2 types of tiles (4 or 5).   

'''[[Pentan]]''' (Penchan + Tanki) - Triplet with a tile that is numerically adjacent, and at least one tile is a terminal. This can be interpreted as "11 + 12" or "111 + 2", thus waiting on 2 types of tiles (2 or 3).
