Because the winning tile does not complete a shuntsu which was completable on two sides, winning from a penchan awards 2 [[fu]] to the hand and does not count as [[pinfu]].
Because the winning tile does not complete a shuntsu which was completable on two sides, winning from a penchan awards 2 [[fu]] to the hand and does not count as [[pinfu]]. Sometimes, a winning tile can be interpreted to complete either a penchan or something else, and the higher-scoring interpretation will be used.
 
{{#mjt:22m12345p345678s}}, winning tiles: {{#mjt:3p}} or {{#mjt:6p}}
 
This hand qualifies for pinfu on both winning tiles. If a 3-pin is used, it is interpreted as completing the [[ryanmen]] 4-5 with the shuntsu 1-2-3 already in place.
 
{{#mjt:22m12345p111s678s}}, tsumo: {{#mjt:3p}}
 
This hand, however, will interpret the 3-pin to complete the penchan 1-2 instead of the ryanmen 4-5. It doesn't qualify for pinfu anyway because of the 1-sou ankou. This interpretation makes the hand worth 40 fu instead of 30: It has 20 base fu, 8 fu from the ankou, 2 fu for winning by tsumo, 2 fu for the penchan machi, making 32 fu in all, rounded to 40.
