 '''Iishanten''', or 1-shanten, is the state of the hand before attaining tenpai. While tenpai is 1-tile away from winning the hand, iishanten is 1-tile away from attaining tenpai.
-Iishanten is closest state a hand can get to tenpai, and is thus acts as a critical juncture. Going from iishanten to tenpai is the slowest stage of the hand, so maximizing the chance of escaping iishanten is usually good. Players often need to choose whether to [[riichi]] or stay [[damaten]], and if another opponent is in tenpai, whether to push or [[defense|fold]].
