Once again, the prospect for [[rinshan kaihou]] to work with riichi is dependent on the legality of the [[Riichi#Kan_during_riichi|kan call during riichi]].  With computer interfaces, this rule may be enforced by disabling a player's ability to call the kan during this situation.  However, with actual tiles, a player must be aware of this legality.  Otherwise, chombo may be enforced instead.

=== Double riichi + chankan ===
=== Double riichi ===
Double riichi has the same compatibility as riichi except for [[chankan]]. This is because, for a regular hand, chankan may only be formed from an [[Kan#Shouminkan|added kan]], which itself requires a call for [[pon]] to happen first.

* If the pon call happens before the riichi call, then double riichi is negated.

* If the pon call happens after the riichi call, then the double riichi player must have declined their winning tile, invoking [[furiten]]. Chankan can only be won from [[ron]], so furiten prevents chankan entirely.

An exception is the yakuman [[kokushi musou]]. Depending on [[Kokushi_musou#Chankan_rule_variation|rule variation]], kokushi may be won off an [[ankan]], which does not require a previous pon call. Therefore, in order to win with double riichi + chankan, it must be also have kokushi. Since it is a yakuman hand, the yaku of "chankan" is never actually scored.

Therefore, in order to win with double riichi + chankan, it must also have kokushi. Since this would be a yakuman hand, the yaku of "chankan" is never actually scored.
