Chinese New Year Supplement!
Advanced Mahjongg: Lesser known stuff (open to debate)

-Robbing the Kong
If a player declares a Kong of tiles, another player needs at last only one from for going out, this other player can claim one of the Kong's tiles and declare Mahjongg, as if the claimed tile has been discarded. This move is called "Robbing the Kong".

-Concealed hand gets 1double
Win with all 13 tiles still in hand, 14th tile is a discard.

-Fully Concealed hand gets 2doubles
Same as "concealed hand" except 14th tile is self drawn.

-One suite only (with honours which are dragons and winds) gets 1 double, without honours gets 3doubles.

-All terminals (1 and 9) and honours gets 3doubles.

Can't find anything on the flowers affecting winning hands (ie getting an impure suit of 1double rather than 3doubles), n i have this game MingXingSanQueYi which allows the winning tile to be for the middle tile of a in-hand chow.
