>With fewer musuji, it becomes easier to narrow down the danger zone.
>The following scenario becomes very possible: A player declares an early riichi. You mawashi around it by not cutting dangerous tiles. As the pond of the riichi grows, you identify which tiles will deal in, and with the increased freedom of what tiles you can cut (as formerly dangerous tiles become safer) you reach tenpai.
>With fewer kinds of tiles, drawing useful tiles is more likely, so even with mawashi you can reach tenpai and win the hand in the end.
>This is one of the hallmarks of sanma. Mawashi is more effective than it is in yonma.
>How to mawashi
>So, how do we make it easy to get into tenpai with mawashi?
>The simplest method is dropping pairs or triplets of honour tiles. It's the gold standard of mawashi, letting you reshape your hand without destroying it.
>When you don't have pairs or triplets of honours and your hand is full of musuji, drop terminal pairs instead.
>Dropping pairs and triplets like this is good because it doesn't separate sequences and by drawing something next to one of the pair/triplet tiles one can easily reach tenpai.
