Defense: Difference between revisions

The most important technique involves identifying [[safe tiles]], particularly the guaranteed ones. Due to the [[furiten]] rule, any tile that an opponent has discarded is 100% safe against that particular opponent. The most effective safe tile are the ones 100% safe against all of them.  The temporary furiten rule makes tiles discarded on the current go-around 100% safe against players who haven't had their turn after the discard. With this, a tiles from [[kamicha]] (player to the left) are temporarily safe, if not claimed for a win.  The furiten rule applied to [[riichi]] makes all tiles discarded after riichi safe against that riichi.  Discarding the same tiles as other players for defense, that technique is called '''awaseuchi''' {{kana|合わせ打ち}}.
