Since chanta is so slow, and only worth 2 han (even less when opened), it usually isn't worth the effort. Even without considering [[riichi]], there are easier ways to get 2 han, such as tanyao + [[pinfu]], pinfu + 1 dora, pinfu + [[iipeikou]], and so on. Therefore, players will rarely go for chanta. Chanta is even less common when [[red five]]s are used, since tanyao + 1 aka dora is already worth as much as chanta. | Since chanta is so slow, and only worth 2 han (even less when opened), it usually isn't worth the effort.
