Word Mahjong Essence is a book which deals thoroughly with the rules of the World Mahjong Federation. But is is also a statement by Kingstone Kim, the author of the book, the designer of the rules and the president of the World Mahjong Federation.
Tai-Up Kim: 'In order for mahjong to upgrade itself from a friendship game to a mind sport, rational rules and provisions to implement such rules will be required. Therefore, mahjong tournaments in the future will inevitably use mahjong game machines or computers with the software mentioned above. By doing so, mahjong will be spotlighted as a new type of scientific brain sports.'
