Thanks for making these videos, after periodically watching them over the past year, I have memorized the yaku and yakuman, currently I've finished chapter 3 of riichi book one, and I've already played against the A.I. a bit in Yakuza 0 and have done great! I've even bought a mahjong set, thought I doubt I could find anyone to play it in my area.
7:25 I had to think for a second about why that is true. For those wondering, it is because the best-case scenario with a skipping shape is to draw the skipped tile (eg: you have 4-6-7-8 and you draw the 5) that leaves you with a three-sided wait (waiting on the 3, 6, or 9 for the previous example). But if you have a skipping shape where the completed sequence ends in a terminal (eg: 5-7-8-9) drawing the skipped tile (because there is no such thing as a 10 tile for the previous example) you still end up with a two-sided wait (which, as mentioned in the video, it is no different from having a random 5 and drawing the 6). I don't know if that was immediately obvious to other people, but I figured I would mention it here.
Thanks for the guide man. Im gonna watch them all. Idk if you know but theres a videogame called Yakuza with Mahjong as a minigame. Im trying to complete it, but I need to master mahjong and shogi.
The book I mentioned in the video is Riichi Book I by Daina Chiba. You can download it for free from the following link: riichi.dynaman.net/ If I may answer your other question in this same comment, the tiles used in this video are from a high-quality mahjong set my friend got me from Japan.

The tiles you are using, are they the one that come with the automatic mahjong table?
You mentioned book, do you have a book out for instruction?
