Kabe: Difference between revisions

'''Kabe''' {{kana|壁}} takes into account the number of tiles available (or unavailable) for tile groups, such as [[shuntsu|sequences]] and [[koutsu|triplets]].  Both [[tile efficiency]] and [[defense]] are in consideration.  In the case of tile efficiency, certain tiles may not be available; or they're available in fewer number.  As for defense, visible tiles may help indicate and deduce which tiles are safer to discard than others.  Of course, this technique may or may not effectively deduce [[genbutsu|100% safe tiles]].  Kabe effectively eliminates the [[rynamen]] wait around the particular number tile, but other tile waits still apply.
