Mahjong Time

We are inviting you to join the tournament in memory of Adrie Van Geffen – a3geffen.

On June 14th, 2021, Adrie Van Geffen – a3geffen has passed away unexpectedly, and the world has lost a truly great man and a mahjong guru. He played many mahjong rules including MCR, Riichi, Hong Kong, Taiwanese very well.

Our relationship with Adrie started at the dawn of the Mahjong Time project. Adrie Van Geffen helped us with the tricky mahjong rules and scorings. He always had the time to listen and gave advice and assistance when needed.

He also ran a column in our blog, with tips and pointers for new and more skilled players. Adrie was always extremely helpful to new players in their endeavor to learn the game. Prayers and fond memories are what we must remember Adrie.

Adrie particularly enjoyed playing in our tournaments, and in his memory, we will host a tournament each year on Adrie’s birthday. This year we will play MCR rules. Perhaps, next year Riichi to continue Adrie Van Geffen’s legacy. It was truly a pleasure to have gotten to know Adrie, he will be missed dearly:
