		Snooker is a variation of the game of billiards played on a baize-covered table that has pockets in each of the four corners and in the middle of each of the long cushions.
		Since players receive points for fouls by their opponents, snookering your opponent is a possible way to win a frame, when potting all the balls on the table couldn't possibly make you win because you are too far behind.
		The most important event in professional snooker is the Embassy World Championship, held annually since 1927 (except between 1958 and 1963).
