Best Games of the Week 04.14.08 - 04.21.08

Type: HK
ID: 785002
Points: 192
Player: newbee2

Combinations:
one suit only - 6
self drawn last tile - 1
season of own wind - 1

Comment: A nice game and a competition by the rules. The risk increases when you discard tiles you don't need while another player is making pung-hands. You end up not knowing what to discard. However, newbee2 stuck to his goal to accumulate a One Suit Only combination.



Type: CO
ID: 780482
Points: 261
Player: mahjong6002

Combinations:
Little Three Dragons - 64
Halh Flush - 6
All Pungs - 6
Self Drawn - 1
Single Wait - 1
Flower Tiles - 1

Comment: An extremely risky Game, who anyone could have been first to declare Mahjong! The one player’s unneeded tiles became another’s pung. Two players were very close to the finish, they needed just one more tile. But only mahjong6002 was the lucky one, he was given a flower and he replaced it, and got the tile needed to declare MJ. Wonderful game!!!

Comment: WOW! One more Full Flush in JM! An interesting and competitive game; all the players made pungs and chows. june960 was waiting for the right moment, and the other players were very soon disappointed. Good Game!

Best Games of the Week 04.07.08 - 04.13.08

Type: HK
ID: 778210
Points: 256
Winner: at88888

Combinations:
Ruby Dragon - 64
Season of wind - 1

Comment: A very interesting game. at88888 had a very good hand with the small exception that they had to wait for the tiles to come. Near to the end of the game, 2 players were ready to declare Mahjong, but at88888 got the lucky tile first.




Type: CO
ID: 776982
Points: 331
Winner: jindu

Combinations:
13 orphans - 88
Flowers - 7
10 points - Wrong MJ

Comment: A wonderful Game, such things have not happened in CO for a long time! A maximum points combination leading to Mahjong Self, unbelievable! A player hastened and did not count the points properly, declared a Wrong Mahjong + 10 points. The rest of the players were prepared, but did not succeed to declare, and the necessary tile came at the last moment. Mahjong – and an unbelievable result! First position in Jack Pot is guaranteed for the next few days!




Type: JM
ID: 776680
Points: 18 000
Winner: moum

Combinations:
Full Flush -5
Dora Tiles - 1

Comment: This Game is special, because the players were simultaneously going towards the final, wonderful Mahjong. But only one player could win the game. The necessary tile ended up coming from the wall for moum, a frequent occurrence.
