Description

Mahjong is known as the game of a thousand wonders and a hundred intelligences. However, very few computer mahjong games embody those features of mahjong games. We think it was due to the very low level of intelligence of computer players, no penalty (time) control system, and lack of a reasonable unified rule.

The World Mahjong games resolves all the problems and embody full features of mahjong games: each introduces a very high level of intelligence, a scientific penalty (time) control system (patented over five nations) and a very reasonable mahjong rule (World Mahjong Federation Rule). JPMR (Japanese Mahjong Rule) has an unnecessary and very complicated point calculation system. And OCMR (Official Chinese Mahjong Rule) has too many (81) hands of mahjong, so an ordinary mahjong player can hardly identify a winning hand.

The world-best Go player can only perform at a mediocre level of skill. And the newest mainframe computer can play a barely even game with the human Chess champion. But the artificial intelligence (computer players) imbedded into the World Mahjong game can beat any human mahjong player in the world. Thus Korean Government assigned it as an Excellent Information Technology in September, 1999.
