If a hand qualifies for [[Tenhou and chiihou|tenhou | If a hand qualifies for [[Tenhou and chiihou|tenhou/chiihou]], it is still possible to declare double riichi. However, this would be a blunder, as it means giving up the yakuman (and entering [[furiten]]). For this reason, it is unwise to call double riichi before checking if the starting hand qualifies for a win. | ||

Since honors cannot form [[sequence|sequences]], it is less likely for an opponent to wait on one. The honor tile with the most visible copies is the safest; a [[yakuhai]] you can see two of is safer than a [[jikaze|guest wind]] you can see one of. If you can see an equal number of a yakuhai tile and a guest wind tile, choose the guest wind. | ||
