Yesterday was the Monday beginners' meeting. The table I joined was full of beginners who could play the game well enough, but I wanted them to get better, so I talked to them about it. But when I tried to explain it yesterday, I forgot the name, so I'll write it here. It was the "Law of Large Numbers," and I've been studying mahjong and luck every day, thinking that in mahjong, the person with the best luck will win in the end. It's said that mahjong is a game where you can get ahead by luck or luck, and that's what makes it different from go or shogi. If you play 1,000 games, you have a chance to win 1,000 times, so it's a game of skill and technique. Like casinos and roulette... → luck It seems that there is something about this that only those in the know know about. Mahjong is somewhere in between, with skill and luck. →The game is different depending on practice and study. When an advanced player and a beginner play a game, they get lucky and before they know it, they have all the tiles. It's common for the beginner to win. Some beginners say it was beginner's luck, or maybe they're told by the good players. I thought it was lucky to win because of beginner's luck, but I wanted them to think about it. I think that the hand of Ms. T, who is above me, was like this: I called a reach and thought it was a low-saw, but the hidden Dora was a low-saw, so she had a reach, a draw, and a front Dora, (I forgot what it was) and the low-saw was a hidden Dora, so she became a jumping man❗️. Of course she was very happy. However, T-san herself said that she can only win on Mondays, and that it's difficult on other days of the week. When she plays against good players in the main tournament, she has a hard time winning. I told T-san, who is overjoyed, that it's unrealistic for me to say this, but please listen to me, even though I'm winning with a Dora. T-san really has good drawing skills, and sometimes wins with a big hand. She enjoys making a big hand more than winning or losing. I feel like she's satisfied with that, since she said so. So, when she made this reach, and waited for a Shan Pong instead of a Low Saw, was there some reason for her calling it a Chi Saw? It's fine if there's a reason for it. A hook, or something. And. T-san seemed to be worried about something. M, the previous winner, was at the table and explained it to me instead of the person who arrived late. If there is no tile on the table, you can make a ryanmen and get 4 tiles each, so there are a total of 8 winning tiles, so... Mahjong is a game of probability, so... I happened to get a tail this time and it was a big win. But whether you know this or not, if you play 1,000 times, those who know this know-how have a much higher chance of winning, I wanted to say it in a parody of the law of large numbers, but what law was it? I feel bad that I forgot. However, it is often said that the only time a shabo wait is effective is when you have a yaku tile and a shabo, which cannot be the head of a pinfu, because you can only reach. ↓ There are many theories that are useful to know about mahjong, and I hope that we can all remember them. Even if you already know, this time you're going to choose champon, so that's fine. Because it actually involves hidden dragons. I'm not sure if this is useful, but I hope you'll keep it in the back of your mind. by Sakura no Kai
