ROTTERDAM - Dutch mahjong player Adrie van Geffen has published an English translation of his mahjong course book, 'Step by step'. The book is a mixture of lessons in Mahjong Competition Rules (MCR) and some of his columns he wrote for Mahjong Magazine of the Dutch mahjong association.
The textbook, 'Step by step', is a translation of book with the same name that was published last year in the Netherlands. For his translation, Mr. Van Geffen was assisted by British mahjong player Chris Redmond.
The book is a good starting point for the very beginner, in mahjong as well as in the complicated mahjong competition rules. Adrie van Geffen indeed goes 'step by step' with the reader through the rules and regulations of this mahjong variant.
Adrie van Geffen is also a guest columnist of MahjongNews.Com. To read his column, click here.

The 2nd Away question is not listed here as it is in the book. The Honors in the book are East-South-West-West, but in this column it's showing as no South and 3 Wests.
On this site, Morten is right, it's 2 away, in the book it's 3.
Thanks!!!
a)2 away from Ready
b)3 away from Ready
c)Non kan allowed, since the Bamboo 4 and Bamboo 8 waits are lost
d)may not be 'quadded' since it is a winning tile.
Thanks for being with us, guys! I see your replies do not always match the ones in the book - feel free to correspond about it.

There is a full glossary in the back too to match up to Japanese terms.
It was my first book, a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. I know not everyone is going to love every part of it, but hopefully it will help us make more friends in the game.
