I have always thought that match was fixed.

@paulepstein9739 Год назад

There's no way Mark Allen's shot on the black was in any sense a "mistake". It's an extremely difficult pot, so he simply has to put all his mental efforts and concentration into ensuring the pot. He can't get distracted by the small possibility of going in-off. If he played specifically to prevent the in-off, he would have been much more likely to miss the pot. This was bad luck, not a "mistake". There is some luck in snooker.

@scottseedell238 27 дней назад

It isn't really luck though is it. Luck is something entirely out of our control, like getting a kick, or a member of the audience sneezing during the shot. Mark Allen was 100% responsible for the in-off. Fair enough he didn't know exactly where it would finish, but that isn't luck per se. He could chosen to hit it slightly differently and it would have a different outcome. He judged it wrongly, it wasn't luck.

@paulepstein9739 26 дней назад

@@scottseedell238 Thanks for your reply. I'll make my point another way, avoiding any definition of "luck". As the commentator said ("six inches further than he would have liked"), Mark Allen was faced with an extremely difficult pot. He didn't make the pot -- he went in-off of course. However, he came very close. It seems ridiculous and totally bizarre to categorise the miss of an extremely difficult pot but crucial pot as some type of historic "mistake". By that logic, players are making terrible mistakes whenever they lose to O'Sullivan. Suppose he avoided the in-off and missed the pot by having the black wiggle in the jaws of the pocket and stay over the pocket for Cao to pot. Would that also be a historic mistake?
