Mahjong Endgame Record: Discard West Final Tempo

First line1. Draw 6p, discard West

Main mistake: discarding 8m before checking what the table has revealed

when checking the reply, use a small check, treat discard West as the page's working move: map it to hand blocks around 5s-7p, isolated West, and visible discard 1m, use opponent calls Green Dragon as the reply test, complete the finishing pattern job by asking how to trace the final route, capture, promotion, territory, or hand-completion checkpoint, and then compare the neighboring level while the notation is still familiar.

Reader jobEndgame and finishing patterns

when checking the reply, use a small check, after this finish pattern: final tempo record, pick the next article by the reading demand it changes, not by a broader game label. The reader should remember the relationship between hand blocks around 5s-7p, isolated West, and visible discard 1m and draw, discard, sequence, pair, visible discard, and safety information, not just the move name.

  1. 1Start on the board

    at the first branch, avoid the broad label, quote 1. Draw 6p, discard West, then find hand blocks around 5s-7p, isolated West, and visible discard 1m. This keeps the page from becoming a loose finishing pattern overview and gives the reader a concrete starting mark.

  2. 2Name the rule cue

    at the first branch, avoid the broad label, translate draw, discard, sequence, pair, visible discard, and safety information into a question the reply must answer before the plan is accepted as more than activity.

  3. 3Stress-test the plan

    at the first branch, avoid the broad label, hold discard West until opponent calls Green Dragon arrives, then decide whether the first plan was real or only looked active.

  4. 4Close with a same-game step

    at the first branch, avoid the broad label, after comparing 4. Draw 2p, discard 8m with the finish at 6. Discard 6m, wait around 4m, choose a same-game page that changes one reading demand while keeping the notation familiar. The next page should make draw, discard, sequence, pair, visible discard, and safety information easier to test, not restart the reader with a different ruleset.

Record goalEndgame and finishing patterns

The ladder record task works on promotion, capture timing, territory closure, final route efficiency, or safe hand completion. Board cue: hand blocks around 5s-7p, isolated West, and visible discard 1m. Level job: the record note slows down at the first legal-choice moment so a new reader can connect the rule, the board cue, and the reason for the move. In Mahjong Strategy, practice this habit: choose a hand direction while tracking what discards make opponents stronger. The record note is built for comparison: one rule cue, one plan, and one mistake that changes the next reply. Replay evidence: the Mahjong draw-discard tile notation line begins move one Draw 6p, discard West; move two Left discards 1m, draw 6s; inspect discard West.

What this record note is1. Draw 6p, discard West is a record line

This page uses 1. Draw 6p, discard West as a compact Mahjong Strategy record line for pair decision loose tile draw-discard line exposes direction visible plan tempting mistake hand blocks around 5s-7p. It explains a level-specific record shape and a mistake check; it is not presented as a copied score from European Mahjong Association.

How to compareMatch record shape before names

Compare notation family, turn order, draw-discard notation, tile vocabulary, hand block, visible discard risk, and non-gambling competition framing, record level, and the mistake cue discarding 8m checking what table has revealed. A useful outside record may share the same problem without sharing every move.

What stays separateKeep source facts and article notes apart

Keep outside scores, player names, event labels, table logs, SGF files, database notes, and source commentary separate from the article body. Use European Mahjong Association to check record reality, then return to the article's own annotation rather than mixing outside metadata into the article.

  1. Source
    Open the right kind of record source

    Start with European Mahjong Association as a competition rule note. Decide whether the outside page is a real record index, rule document, position reference, table log, or SGF-style record before comparing moves.

  2. Line
    Match the first notation line

    Hold 1. Draw 6p, discard West beside the outside source. The first check is notation family, turn order, and record length, not whether the whole outside score is identical.

  3. Position
    Match the position terms

    Search by pair decision loose tile draw-discard line exposes direction visible plan tempting mistake hand blocks around 5s-7p. The outside material helps only when it trains the same draw-discard notation, tile vocabulary, hand block, visible discard risk, and non-gambling competition framing.

  4. Level
    Match the record level

    Look for a short Mahjong Strategy line that starts like 1. Draw 6p, discard West and explains one rule cue around pair decision loose tile draw-discard line exposes direction visible plan tempting mistake hand blocks around 5s-7p; skip long database branches until the first mistake can be named.

  5. Separate
    Keep the record line separate

    Treat this beginner record note as an original annotated record example, not a named game record or copied match score. Keep outside scores, player names, event labels, table logs, SGF files, database notes, and source commentary separate from the article body.

Wikimedia Commons Mahjong one dot tile is the public visual reference for this Mahjong Strategy page; when the answer feels obvious, avoid the broad label, for open-gallery context, the page adds Wikimedia Commons Mahjong one dot tile, which gives readers a Mahjong dot-suit tile reference that matches discard notation, safe-reply, and suit-lane reading pages; used as game-material context before the reader checks the article-specific record diagram. It supports recognition of the game family, while the article-specific reading still starts from 1. Draw 6p, discard West; 2. Left discards 1m, draw 6s. The article-specific line still belongs to the self-authored record diagram. This public-library context remains separate from the self-authored article-specific diagram.

Keep separateMahjong Strategy outside-material ruleEuropean Mahjong Association

In the replay notebook, keep the question narrow, Mahjong Strategy finish pattern: final tempo starts from 1. Draw 6p, discard West; 2. Left discards 1m, draw 6s so the reader can inspect hand blocks around 5s-7p, isolated West, and visible discard 1m. The line is an annotated record note, not a tournament score; it is a beginner annotated-record example built for first notation practice. Keep database games separate until discard West has been checked against opponent calls Green Dragon. It is also not gambling advice, a table result, or scoring instruction. The page-specific mistake check is discarding 8m before checking what the table has revealed.

What to compare
  • Notation and turn order: 1. Draw 6p, discard West.
  • Position job and trained mistake: a pair decision, a loose tile, and a draw-discard line that exposes direction; one visible plan and one tempting mistake; hand blocks around 5s-7p, isolated West, and visible discard 1m; draw, discard, sequence, pair, visible discard, and safety information check for the finishing pattern / discarding 8m before checking what the table has revealed.
  • Image fit, source URL, license label, and whether the public image matches the same game family.
What stays outside
  • Outside scores, player metadata, event labels, table logs, SGF files, and database commentary stay outside the article body.
  • A public image is visual context, not proof that the composed move sequence happened in a real match.
  • A classic position anchor helps comparison; it is not a claim that this page reproduces that exact external record.
