>---: In this round you are first to riichi with a kanchan on 2s. This hand could have improved to tanyao or sanmenchan, so was this instant riichi because 1s is dora?
>Owata: No, that has nothing to do with it. As in the chapter on not being too concerned with shape, kanchan tenpai with not many ways to improve is an instant riichi. This would have been instant riichi even if 1s was not dora.
>---: And this has nothing to do with flow or anything like that?
>Owata: Not at all. It's a question of how many dora we have and what the point spread is. Turn 8 is late in sanma, and it's likely that our opponents have more expensive hands. Also, my opponents are close in score to each other so it'll be scary for them to push into me.
>---: Especially because getting last place is hell in ranked.
>Owata: I'm way ahead here so the others are likely to take a "aim for second" approach.
>---: So with all this in mind you judged riichi to be the right choice.
>Owata: That's right. I can't say that this is 100% correct, but at the very least the me at the time thought so.
>---: How about the current you?
>Owata: I'd still riichi there.
>---: The hand ends when you tsumo 2s on the haitei tile. The promotion to tenhoui is close now.
