Riichi Strategy - 6 Block Theory Part 1

#Riichi #Mahjong #麻雀
This is a clip from our Riichi Mahjong Monthly April edition, focusing on Riichi Mahjong Strategy.
We are covering segments from G・ウザク's book "ウザク式 麻雀学習 牌効率" which focuses on tile efficiency.
This segment covers the first few pages about the 6 Block Theory/Method. This is only part 1 of the 6 Block chapters, and we will be going in more details in next month's Riichi Mahjong Monthly.

this is pretty much my hand every single time; always contemplating on which tile to discard! thanks for clarifying!

Glad it was useful! The second half of the 6 Block Theory is coming up in this week’s Riichi Mahjong Monthly so stay tuned!!

My initial response to the hand would be to discard a 9-pin since we have a pair of 7-man already, and there is a not unreasonable chance of drawing a pair of 2/3/5/6-sou if we end up with a third 7-man or a 5/8-man to "finish" that block.
Then assuming we got the 7-sou draw, discarding the second 9-pin would still leave quite a range tiles available to get to 1-shanten, while also keeping the option for tanyao or even consider trying for ittsu if a 1 or 8-sou was subsequently drawn (discarding the 2 and 3-man).

Of course now I go and watch part 2 and discover that is exactly what is suggested hahaha. Good to know my instinct was correct here. Although I always forget about sanshoku when building hands so that was a good reminder
