Even after the hundreds of rounds of mahjong I've played throughout my life,
>I never really know how to calculate points
>I never really know why some times I cannot tsumo, the computer just says I can't
>I never really know what tiles are considered dangerous to throw

All I know is that I know what tenpai and richi is, I know what yakumans and doras are, and I know that a complete hand is required, I'm pretty much close to clueless on other things and you may call me stupid, but I still don't understand what exactly they are saying on some of the rules.

Despite all that, I barely ever finish last (I don't finish first much either unless I get some weird-ass beginner luck yakumans. I had players saying it's a headache to read what I'm discarding, or how dangerous/scrubby my moves are.
