Claiming
Being one tile from a win is called ting. This class teaches how to spot it, how to declare mahjong before the moment passes, and the active Wind-Round floor every hand must clear.
Basics Who gets a discard: Sheung from the left, the higher call, the pass and the embargo. 6 min
Welcome back. Sit, I'll deal.
Draw, discard, next seat. A claim jumps ahead.
Today, who gets the tile. Tidy first.
Two short runs. Two pairs. Each wants one.
Four sets, a pair, and six-seven.
That's the embargo. It lifts when you draw.
All five suits. Two hidden Pongs.
Twenty-six tai. Well claimed.
The higher call wins. Pass with a reason.
Now you claim well. Next, Winning.
