Since lone honors/terminals are least likely to help, they are often discarded first. Because they are discarded first, a hand may "naturally" form tanyao without any special effort. Conversely, it may not be wise to force tanyao. For instance, if you already have a 789 sequence, then it may not be wise to break it. (It depends on the hand and if open tanyao is allowed.) | |||
Open tanyao is notoriously fast: while not worth much, it is quick. If you need ''a'' win - for example, to end the game faster, or to break a tie in [[all last]] - then 1100 points might be all you need. In these cases, if tanyao is realistic, then call it. Depending on the hand, though, it may be faster to play [[yakuhai]] or (if the hand has completed groups with terminals) play closed. | Open tanyao is notoriously fast: while not worth much, it is quick.
