How Mixed Double Chow (喜相逢) works
Two chows of the same rank sequence in two different suits, such as 4-5-6 dots and 4-5-6 bamboo.
The two runs share identical ranks but come from distinct suits, making it the mixed-suit counterpart to Pure Double Chow, where both runs are the same suit. It is a small chow-composition fan that combines with other sequence-based patterns. The defining feature is the matching rank sequence spread across two suits.
Good to know
- •Two chows of the same three ranks in two different suits.
- •Differs from Pure Double Chow, which keeps both runs in the same suit.
- •Each matching pair of chows is counted once.
