8.2 Kabe
If there are no genbutsu or honors, let’s look for kabe before suji.
When all four copies of a tile are visible, that tile is called a kabe. Count the discards, your hand, and the dora indicator.
With no 3-sou left, neither a 23-sou ryanmen nor a 34-sou ryanmen is possible.
So 1-sou and 2-sou cannot deal into a ryanmen.
For 2-sou, the 13-sou kanchan is blocked too.
Even if 4 is a kabe, 1 is not safe, because the 23 ryanmen remains.
That is why a kabe is powerful when it is a 2, 3, 7, or 8.
Discard one tile that a kabe keeps from dealing into a ryanmen.
