MCR Mahjong Trainer - become the expert in Mahjong Competition Rules!

Mahjong Trainer - is a program for training the main skill in the game - counting number of fans and points in the hand.

According MC Rules, the hand must have minimum of 8 points to declare "mahjong" - that's why any player must always know what fans and how much points the hand has.

Mahjong Trainer helps you to improve your skill to "read" fans in the hand according to situation. At the beginning, a random hand generates and player must calculate in the mind total number of points, and enter the count. Then the program counts the hand and compares your answer with the right one. It is possible to see detailed view of the hand - the structure and contained fans.
