What this record looks like
The intermediate Mahjong Strategy route repair rule card is built as an encyclopedia checkpoint: setup, win condition, legal move, turn order, notation bridge, common rule trap, and record-reading bridge all point back to draw, discard, sequence, pair, visible discard, and safety information. The short line 1. Draw Red Dragon, discard 8s; 2. Left discards 5s, draw 7p is included only to make the rule concrete. Board cue: hand blocks around 6p-West, isolated 8s, and visible discard 5s. Rule check: draw, discard, sequence, pair, visible discard, and safety information. It does not replace the source rules.

Unique asset
A self-authored SVG study diagram for this Mahjong Strategy rule card marks hand blocks around 6p-West, isolated 8s, and visible discard 5s. It is paired with Mahjong draw-discard tile notation beginning 1. Draw Red Dragon, discard 8s; 2. Left discards 5s, draw 7p. The public reference image pub-mahjong-three-dot gives readers an open-gallery board or piece reference for the same game family.
Mahjong Strategy rule check
Check this before the outside record: read 1. Draw Red Dragon, discard 8s, name the rule source, test the position cue, and keep the mistake visible.
Open European Mahjong AssociationEuropean Mahjong Association is the rule source to open first; use it for legal vocabulary before comparing this intermediate record.
Tile notation such as 5m, 7p, honor tiles, draw, discard, and call language lets the reader track hand shape without a full table log. In this lesson the first line is 1. Draw Red Dragon, discard 8s.
A turn usually draws, discards, or responds to visible calls under the ruleset. The lesson should identify tile group, isolated honor, sequence, pair, and table information rather than giving gambling advice. For this page, apply it to a terminal tile, a middle-suit wait, and a discard river that warns against greed; two candidate plans and a turning point; hand blocks around.
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 South before checking what the table has revealed.

Commentary
First reading pass for Mahjong Strategy Rule Card: Route Repair: Use move one Draw Red Dragon, discard 8s; move two Left discards 5s, draw 7p as the anchor for this rule card. The board detail to find first is hand blocks around 6p-West, isolated 8s, and visible discard 5s.
Decision note for Rule Card: Route Repair: compare discard 8s with the tempting alternative and say what the opponent gains next.
Progress in this rule card is measured one reply later. Here, opponent calls 2p checks whether the slower-looking choice was real.
Use the rule card: route repair cross-game comparison as a check, not as the lesson itself. This rule card keeps draw, discard, sequence, pair, visible discard, and safety information visible while the line is replayed.
By the end, point at opponent calls 2p, explain the punishment in this rule card, and choose whether the next record is easier or harder.

- 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; two candidate plans and a turning point; hand blocks around 6p-West, isolated 8s, and visible discard 5s; 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 intermediate lesson
Compare record length, annotation density, and the trained mistake: discarding South before checking what the table has revealed. That is how this page explains what a intermediate record is for.
- 4Keep lesson and outside record separate
Use European Mahjong Association for real record lookup. This page remains a composed teaching fragment and is not a copied tournament score or named-player record.

External records stay separate from this lesson
Competition framing, tile vocabulary, and the boundary between non-gambling teaching records and real table results.

Public reference: For open-gallery context, the page adds Wikimedia Commons Mahjong three dot tile, which gives readers a second Mahjong dot-suit tile reference for suit notation, draw-discard, and hand-shape strategy pages; used as game-material context before the reader checks the article-specific study diagram. It gives board or piece context only; the article-specific line remains in the self-authored study diagram beginning 1. Draw Red Dragon, discard 8s; 2. Left discards 5s, draw 7p.
