Going out by claiming the winning tile for a pair

Going out by robbing a Kong

Load the game file.
Start by discarding Bamboo 9.
Wait until Tim declares a melded Kong of Bamboo 1.
As soon as Tim has made his Kong declaration, the Out button on the status bar changes to read Rob Kong. If the Rob Kong Guidance option (on the Gameplay option page of the Preferences dialog box) is in use (default), the mouse cursor is automatically moved over the Rob Kong button. Now you have five seconds time to press the button to rob Tim's Kong. If the Rob Kong Guidance option is not in use, the only hint you will have is the change of button label from Out to Rob Kong.
Click the Rob Kong button to grab Tim's Bamboo 1 and go out.

Note: You can rob only a Kong that is composed by completing a melded Pung into a Kong. Concealed Kongs and melded Kongs composed by claiming the fourth tile from another player's discard, can never be robbed.
