One pocket is NOT like Chess.
Chess is a game played on a checkered board. There are a finite number of moves. You may not know every move in every situation but someone does. If not someone, then the computer does.
One pocket has an infinite number of variables. Forget about all the physical obstacles. Scientists have been trying for years to predict the outcome of the simplest roll of the balls without success. I don't think they ever considered SKID? Probably never heard of it.
When the smartest computer starts playing one pocket and can beat even ME, then I will concede that the Shot clock is a viable solution to tournament one pocket.
Anyone want to put up their 10K just to see how it works?
