Known in English as "robbing a kan", chankan occurs when a player is in [[tenpai]] for a tile used to upgrade a [[pon]] into an added [[kan]]. Any tenpai hand works for chankan, even if the hand is otherwise yakuless. The other two types of kan can never be used for this yaku. | Known in English as "robbing a kan", chankan occurs when a player is in [[tenpai]] for a tile used to upgrade a [[pon]] into an added [[kan]].

*It is impossible to ron off an [[Kan#Daiminkan|Daiminkan]] (open kan). The call for ron takes precedence over the call for kan. Either a discarded tile is used for ron, or it is used to complete a kan.

In other words, an opponent must call [[pon]] before your hand wins, then draw the fourth copy of that tile, then call the added kan. An opponent must have all four copies of a tile in their hand to call added kan. Therefore, chankan becomes impossible if you are holding any copy of that tile (because then the opponent cannot gain that tile for their kan). | In other words, an opponent must call [[pon]] before your hand wins, then draw the fourth copy of that tile, then call the added kan.
