Mahjong Beginner Rules: Center Route Setup with Discard South
1. Draw White Dragon, discard SouthMain mistake: discarding 9p before checking what the table has revealed
in this example, keep the comparison same-game, use this beginner tile hand-building rule card as an encyclopedia checkpoint: write the setup in one sentence, name the win condition, test whether the first move is legal, then mark whose turn changes the answer. Only after that, replay 1. Draw White Dragon, discard South; 2. Left discards Green Dragon, draw East and explain why opponent calls 7m exposes discarding 9p before checking what the table has revealed.
1. Draw White Dragon, discard Southbefore the replay, make the branch earn trust, hand blocks around 2p-8m, isolated South, and visible discard Green Dragon is the article's visual checkpoint. If it is skipped, discard South becomes a memorized move instead of a record-reading clue. The beginner job is to name one safe plan and one rejected move before following the rest of the line. The page is useful only if that first inspection changes how this tile hand-building rule card: center route record is read.
for the next comparison, write the task in plain words, the record bends at 3. Discard 6m, keep pair 4m4m. In this Mahjong Strategy rule card, it is the first place where opponent calls 7m tests whether the earlier plan was more than activity. Write this beside it: The beginner choice is direction: complete sequences before collecting loose honors.
When the answer feels obvious, name the visible demand, use the diagram first: point to hand blocks around 2p-8m, isolated South, and visible discard Green Dragon, then replay the first line aloud before reading any variation. For rule card: center route, the plan is not to memorize the line; it is to explain why opponent calls 7m changes the answer.

The common trap is discarding a flexible or safe-looking tile before checking visible information. A good fragment asks what the table has already revealed before naming the plan. Here the reader's mistake check is discarding 9p before checking what the table has revealed.

- Outside scores, player metadata, event labels, table logs, SGF files, and database commentary stay outside the article body.

Draw White Dragon, discard South + discarding 9p checking what table has revealedOpen European Mahjong AssociationStart with terminal tile middle-suit wait discard river warns against greed visible. The goal is to find the same kind of board, tile, route, or threat problem before looking for an exact score.
Use the sample 1. Draw White Dragon, discard South to compare notation form, move length, and record density against external material.
Keep this mistake visible while comparing: discarding 9p checking what table has revealed. A useful outside record should make that decision easier to discuss.
Open European Mahjong Association for real records or position context, but keep this record note separate from copied match scores and named-player claims.

Start with Draw-discard tile notation and the sample 1. Draw White Dragon, discard South. Compare outside records only for notation shape before judging move quality.
- 2Anchor the same kind of position
Use this page cue: a terminal tile, a middle-suit wait, and a discard river that warns against greed; 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 rule card Look for a similar board, tile, route, or threat problem, not an identical copied position.
- 3Read it as a beginner record note
Compare record length, annotation density, and the trained mistake: discarding 9p before checking what the table has revealed. That is how this page explains what a beginner record is for.

Public reference: when the plan looks natural, let the diagram lead, for visual grounding, Wikimedia Commons Mahjong one bamboo tile sits beside the article diagram as a public-library reference for a single Mahjong suit tile reference for pages about tile notation and discard reading; used as game-material context before the reader checks the article-specific record diagram. It is not a substitute for the composed record line; the exact cue remains hand blocks around 2p-8m, isolated South, and visible discard Green Dragon. The exact move sequence stays in the self-authored article diagram. This public-library context remains separate from the self-authored article-specific diagram.
