In this counter example, the tiles 1-9 for one suit are in the hand, but ittsuu would not be counted. Instead, they are grouped as 123, 567, and 789, with 4-man functioning as the [[Jantou|pair]]. | In this counter example, the tiles 1-9 for one suit are in the hand, but ittsuu would not be counted.

Ittsu requires three groups to be sequences, leaving room for only one other tile group. Yaku that require more than one triplet - [[sanshoku doukou]], [[sanankou]], [[sankantsu]], [[shousangen]], [[toitoi]] - are thus incompatible. Similarly, [[sanshoku]] and [[ryanpeikou]] are incompatible because there is no room for their patterns. [[Chiitoitsu]], which does not use [[mentsu]], is likewise incompatible. The 456 sequence invalidates [[chanta]], [[junchan]], and [[honroutou]], while the 123 and 789 sequences invalidate [[tanyao]]. | |||
=== | Ittsu can often be combined with [[honitsu]]/[[chinitsu]], as the ittsu is already composed of 9 tiles of the same suit. [[Pinfu]] also combines well; however, if the ittsu section is not complete, the hand would be subject to to [[takame and yasume]] (only one of two waiting tiles would score this yaku). | ||

Ittsuu requires three out of the four tile groups to be composed of sequences: 123, 456, and 789. Sanshoku also requires at least three groups of sequences.

Sometimes, a hand may be 1-shanten for both yaku because of composition, forcing players to decide one or the other. | ||

Despite being easy to memorize, ittsu is one of the more difficult yaku to obtain. | |||
[[Sanshoku]] is worth the same (2 han) and has a similar requirement (3 identical sequences). However, sanshoku occurs more than twice as often as ittsu. This is likely because ittsu's 123 and 789 sequences are harder to form than other sequences. | |||
