How long do people reckon before China dominates the top ten? They came from nowhere to be one of the very best chess playing nations and I can see them doing the same here.0

5 years i would guess, just starting to filter down at the mo with most semis/quarters 1 or 2 in there, on snooker.org (best place for results/live scores) someone stated potentially the whole of a quarter could be full of chinese this tourney.AddicksAddict said:How long do people reckon before China dominates the top ten?

The thing is 5/6 years ago people said in a few years asian players will dominate, it hasnt happened yet, not saying it wont and there are alot more in top 64 now, however I dont see them completly dominating, there are also alot of young talent from uk and mainland Europe coming through as well.AddicksAddict said:How long do people reckon before China dominates the top ten?

yeah I thought by now Asian players would be dominating as I read over 70 million Chinese people play pool or snooker each week so its got to be only a matter of time.
having said that they have had a huge interest in football for a number of years now and have very few top players so maybe it will take alot longer than anticipated.0 -

Yes completely dominating agreed, but reckon there will be maybe like 4-6 players in top 16 so they will become more dominant. I searched the World rankings for 9ball whilst the mosconi cup was on and was suprised that the majority of the top players were chinese/ thailand, I think top ranked US was like 80, there were a few Europeans in there but defo dominated by Asian countries.paulie8290 said:

And my performance of the day:
Was gonna go to Cao Yupeng a 147 break and a 4-0 victory, but that was changed tonight Ben Woollaston 3-1 down to Mark Allen and came back to win 4-3.
Also a mention for Daniel Wells, brillaint victory of UK finalist Shaun Murphy.

Ronnie'll conjure up a 155 but only if the money's good enough.paulie8290 said:High break prize pretty much gone to Cao Yupeng now thanks to his 147.
Does anyone know the most number of continuous points? Not unanswered points, but continuous without the opponent coming to the table. I'll put the answer up tomorrow.1 -
No i dont, i would guess 550 + roughly might have heard it once before but of the top of my head i dont know it.AddicksAddict said:

Scottish Open
Round 4 Draw
Marco Fu(9) v Xiao Guodong(34)
Neil Robertson(20) v David Grace(65)
John Higgins(5) v Ashley Hugill(116)
Michael Whie(16) v Ronnie O'Sullivan(2)
Rory McLeod(56) v Ricky Walden(23)
Tom Ford(37) v Cao Yupeng(67)

So 5 of the top 16 are in the last 16
Possible quarter finals for a few lower ranked players as well.
In fact the winner of McLeod v Walden and Ford v Yupeng meet so a possible semi for McLeod, Ford or Yupeng(depending how Walden plays)0 -

My answer was going to be Fred Davis, who scored around 230/250. I hadn't heard that Charlton had done the same and scored more.paulie8290 said:
