  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 White Dragon, discard South 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 table call safe tile question hand-speed versus value choice visible plan tempting mistake hand blocks around. 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 White Dragon, discard South and explains one rule cue around table call safe tile question hand-speed versus value choice visible plan tempting mistake hand blocks around; 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.

Left discards Green Dragon, draw East. The page uses it as an annotated record note, not a tournament score, built for first notation practice. The reader should verify the rule family separately instead of treating this note as an external score sheet. It is also not gambling advice, a table result, or scoring instruction.

What to compare
  • Notation and turn order: 1. Draw White Dragon, discard South.
  • Position job and trained mistake: a table call, a safe tile question, and a hand-speed versus value choice; one visible plan and one tempting mistake; hand blocks around 2p-8m, isolated South, and visible discard Green Dragon; draw, discard, sequence, pair, visible discard, and safety information check for the record comparison / discarding 9p 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.
