So fight began, nobody knew who would declare mahjong first, but suddenly at88888 declared mahjong. It was a big surprise, because at88888 didn't declare ready for mahjong button. Bravo, at88888!!!

Comment: An interesting game where each player
tried to collect a hand in one suit, but misfortune
followed "TwoFour" player. He collected bamboos when was
throwing in majority characters, this way gave the needed tile
to cratesweet. This happens a lot of times with many players, that is strategy.

Comment: A very good game, however not the kind of that results in many points from big combinations. This game matched three very experienced players and the winner had a lucky break, because two of them declared "Ready" and just one tile was on a step of tiles. And it's amazing that the bonus for dora is 7 hans, WOW!! A very interesting game, bettysun43
