'''Oikake riichi''' {{kana|追いかけリーチ}} is a "chasing riichi", or a declared riichi after another player had already declared riichi. In this state, two or even three players have simultaneously declared riichi. In this state, players are locked into a "riichi duel" - any riichi declarer is liable of playing into another's riichi call. | '''Oikake riichi''' {{kana|追いかけリーチ}} is a "chasing riichi", or a declared riichi after another player had already declared riichi.

Players often declare chasing riichi because they have no option to defend, or when they have a big hand. At the same time, if after an opponent riichi's, you reach a good wait tenpai, then trying to win is often better than folding. When you do have the option to defend, the decision to push or fold should depend more on [[shanten]], [[tile acceptance]], and wait rather than the value of the hand. | Players often declare chasing riichi because they have no option to defend, or when they have a big hand.

The process of four active riichi hands is not possible due to [[Tochuu ryuukyoku|suucha riichi]], or four called riichi. In this case, the hand ends if the fourth riichi discard is not a winning tile for any of the previous three. | The process of four active riichi hands is not possible due to [[Tochuu ryuukyoku|suucha riichi]], or four called riichi.
