Bitmasters released the video game Pool Champion. The game is available for Windows. It's about a player in pool who must put the balls in the right places, hit them on a table and use the cues only on his or herself pool stick.
Two world-class players are Shane Van Boening (German) and Thorsten Hohnmann (German). They are both German players and are considered to some of the most skilled in the game. Both were defeated in matches.
While playing in the World Pool Championship last year, Shane Van Boening thought that his window of opportunity was closing. He had been cruising in the single-elimination phase of the tournament, and he wondered if it was time to hang it up. He quickly recovered. After falling behind 7-6, he managed force the second to be a tiebreaker.
New York was host to the tournament, and it was a fantastic experience for the spectators of 20 million Americans. It was the most watched pool match in US history. The game was not the only thing that mattered. There was a trickster involved. And a lot of breaking rules.
Chris Dawson started playing as a child at the age 5 and won his first 48 player tournament at 13. After watching "The Color of Money," he fell in love with the game. He became an international and national player as he played and improved. Now, he's the captain for the Australian pool team.
