Привет! More Tenhou situations to crack our Mahjong brains on! 1. BLOCK METHOD This was tough for me. Pinzu shape with two tiles that aren’t of immidiate help but are good for hand development.

Hello! Well, the title says it all, I’m speechless/typeless, one of the best days ever *_* Stats so far (note: I’ve played Tonpuu only): Tenhou has been super kind to me on 2-3d.
