Its actually bit too hard to grasp. Reds are worth 1, colours are worth 2 - 7. It goes red, colour, red, colour etc. Then the colours have to be potted in a certain order. Black is worth 7. Look up 147 break to get the order of the potting :) as for snookering an opponent - to put the cue ball where they cant play a shot - meaning they have to concede the frame. A frame is 1 game to you an I. A match is the entire thing, they do best of 11-17 off the top off my head

Let me tell you. Snooker players are not hustling the other player they are playing the balls trying to score enough to win each frame. Snooker is man vs the game not the opponent. They couldn't care what the other guy does.

No crowd. Covid.

I’m not sure what’s so clever about O’Sullivan’s shot at 6:46. He’s left an easy red to the left corner pocket of the baulk area for Williams. Ok so Williams would still require 1 or 2 snookers but O’Sullivan has still left him with an easy shot to get back in control and find the snooker(s) he requires.

Oh yeah baby. It’s big brain time

When opponent finishes a shot and the cue ball ends up touching a red ball the referee must call a "touching ball". Under that rule it means that the following player can now play away from that red that is in contact with the cue ball. You can have the option of hitting no other balls or hitting any colored ball and it wouldn't be a foul because as far as the shot is concerned you "already hit " the starting red you're in contact. This was a touching ball in this case so hitting the blue there is no foul.
