As there are no posts for april yet, I thought I would write one, and I’d like to write about professional mahjong player Tsuchida Koushou (土田浩翔). This post will be about him.

Riichi Baden Open 2011
Hi there, here I am again with another tournament report. Sorry for the delay, I was out of country with no internet access (except for ridiculously expensive 3G roaming).
As you might have noticed, the first riichi tournament of 2011 has already been held. It happened on the 12th of February, in a small town of Baden in Austria. The tournament was organized by Alexander Doppelhoffer, and 24 players took part. And of course, as last time, our Slovakian team couldn’t resist. As you can see on the official report page, we secured 6 seats out of 24. International attendance was great, with players from eight countries doing their best. It seems that the European Riichi scene is starting to gain traction, which is really positive.
Mahjong News #5 (16/02/2011)
The writers at osamuko are very lazy. Despite numerous of attempts to update regularly we’ve failed miserably. These news articles were one such attempt but stuff like Umaikeiki’s computer breaking for the umpteenth time or Umaikeiki getting addicted to crack always seem to hinder his attempts to write them.

This time I thought I wouldn’t be self-centered for the first time in a while, and make a post about something else that has gotten us a bit… excited maybe? Anyway:
CONGRATULATIONS, ASAPIN
Concealed vs Exposed
Tile efficiency works just okay for one’s own hand, but what about the tiles that flow out? Obviously, you shouldn’t call every single one of them, but that doesn’t mean you should ignore them either. How to judge? What to consider when calling? Well, the basics are sumed up in the following text.

Merry (belated?) Christmas to all readers. Sorry but unlike April Fools there’s no custom banners for Christmas. They’re on my todo list.
This post will be short because I’m tired and still haven’t watched Doctor Who yet.
Tile Efficiency 101 (Part 5) Climaxing
Be prepared to read.
You may have very well been able to understand the last pages in the original Japanese with the picture, but the following content is mainly theoric text, so unless you could understand it, you were missing on a lot.
Tile Efficiency 101 (Part 4)
The more I’ve been playing lately, especially on fast tables, the more I see how you need to have tile efficiency theory very in mind. Especially in nashi-nashi games, where you can’t just kui-tan your way to a full hand. So, I decided we should go on. Let’s resume from where we last left off.
