Ichikawa Strategy

Ichikawa Strategy Context Akagi is currently staged to fight a blind mahjong player named Ichikawa. Ichikawa is highly skilled in mahjong and Akagi is told to play with him as basically the pinch hitter to Nangou and Yasuoka, basically his adult buddies and his window to the underground gambling games. In this mahjong game due to Ichikawa being blind the players will have to spell out the tile they discarded to signal to Ichikawa. Unfortunately Akagi has business to deal with before he can actually play the game with Ichikawa so Akagi arrives late to the game. Take note: Akagi before the game has met Ichikawa so he already knows that Ichikawa is both a skilled mahjong player and also blind. When Akagi arrives, Yasuoka and Nangou had already been playing but are losing badly to Ichikawa, they only have 2000 points to spare and are currently in the middle of a match, closer to the end. Mahjong is played with 4 players, currently from Akagi’s seats perspective Ichikawa is on the other side. I will refer to Ichikawa by his name and the players on both sides by their direction relative to Akagi so the left player and right player. Also note, in Akagi’s world building there seems to be a flow of the game or luck, although statistically impossible it is a fictional setting, the flow seems to be on the side of the player who plays smart or clutches hard or things related to good gambling spirit.
