Re: Tanki
Agathe Thies
A hadaka tanki wait does not have any special properties of its own. However, because only one tile can be discarded, the hand is left with little option for defense. The worst case scenario for a hand in hadaka tanki involves both the waiting tile and the drawn tile as winning tiles for another player. In this case, the player has no choice but to deal in.
This shape is not good as a tenpai wait, but is strong before tenpai. The middle tile is an especially strong lone tile. With a nakabukure 4, as shown above, drawing any of 2s-5s or 3s-6s will end up with a ryanmen wait (compared to a normal 4, which only get a ryanmen when drawing 5s or 6s).
A nobetan is a two-sided tanki wait. The hand waits to complete a pair, but two types of tiles are eligible to complete the pair, because the to-be-paired tile is next to a sequence. Here, if a 3p is drawn, you are left with a 3p pair and 456p sequence. If a 6p is drawn, you are left with a 345p sequence and 6p pair. A nobetan is aligned with suji intervals.
However, the main advantage of tanki is that it you can wait for any type tile, so long as there is at least one copy of the tile remaining. This makes it strong when wishing to win from another player's discard. It is immune to suji and (to some extent) kabe, so it can be used to set suji traps. A tanki wait on an honor tile that was once-discarded is actually strong, as players may believe said tiles to be safe. A hell wait on an honor tile, while unlikely to actually win, is particularly strong if you want to win from another player.
A ryanmen wait that is adjacent to the hand's pair. When winning with the 6p, this hand can be interpreted as either a "66 + 78" tenpai (a ryanmen wait) or a "6 + 678" tenpai (a tanki wait). The interpretation that would result in the most final points is used.
