Pure Flush Multi-Wait Pattern Cheat Sheet

Topics: Frequently occurring multi-wait structures / Hand patterns & waits at a glance

1. Frequently Occurring Core Multi-Wait Patterns

A list of basic 3-sided and 5-sided wait patterns commonly encountered in Chinitsu hands.

Eboshi Shape (2-Sided Wait) Waits: 2 - 5 Pin

A triplet (222) connected to consecutive tiles (34), forming a clean 2-5 ryanmen wait.

Nakabukure (Bulging Center) Effective Tiles: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Pin | Wait: 4 Pin

Whether split as 44 + 345 or 444 + 35, 4 Pin is the wait tile. Serves as a versatile expansion shape for attaching 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 Pin.

4-Consecutive Block + Triplet (5-Sided Wait) Waits: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 6 Man

Triplet (222) + 3 consecutive tiles (345). While already forming two complete melds, drawing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 expands the hand dynamically.

💡 Tip: To quickly decode multi-waits, isolate triplets (3 identical tiles) or pairs (2 identical tiles) first to clarify the underlying base structure.

2. 13-Tile Tenpai Hand Reference Table

Full 13-tile real-game tenpai structures and their corresponding winning tiles.

Double Anko Structure Waits: 2 - 5 - 8 - 9 Pin (4 Types)

Sequences sandwiched between two triplets (222, 888) create a clean 2-5-8 wait extension, plus 9 Pin as a shanpon wait.

Multi-Toitsu (Multiple Pairs) Structure Waits: 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 Man (7 Types)

Multiple consecutive pairs combined with a triplet form a Ryanpeikou base. Shanpon waits on 3, 4, 6, 7 stack with a 2-5-8 ryanmen wait, yielding a massive 7-sided wait.

💡 Key Point: When analyzing complex 13-tile hands, separating [Pair Candidates] and [Meld Candidates] individually makes reading the wait range vastly simpler.
