Back Cover Blurb
Snooker is quiet drama. It is geometry under pressure, etiquette under floodlights, and decisions that echo long after the balls have stopped rolling. Snooker – History and Rules is a complete, modern guide to the game: where it came from, how it truly works, and how it is played at its highest level today.
This book takes you from colonial officers’ messes in India to the Crucible Theatre, from Joe Davis to Ronnie O’Sullivan, from the birth of “Pot Black” to the global tour era. Along the way, it explains the rules with referee-level clarity, demystifies foul and miss, free balls, and endgame situations, and shows how table geometry, tactics, and psychology shape every serious frame.
Whether you are a curious newcomer, a club player, a coach, or an aspiring referee, you will find:
– a clear, practical breakdown of rules and equipment
– modern tournament formats and qualification paths
– tactical archetypes and decision frameworks
– technique fundamentals with drills and training plans
– iconic players, matches, and records
– a compact glossary and a rules quiz for real-world table use
Written in a tone that is precise, practical, and quietly humorous, this book treats snooker as what it truly is: a game of respect, rhythm, and relentless precision.
Snooker isn’t just about potting balls.
It’s about thinking two shots ahead — and staying calm while you do.
