8 ball is like a game of chess

[Ralph Kramden]

I much prefer one pocket for my chess addiction.

Me too. 8 ball is checkers.

There are many more 8 ball players than there are one pocket players.
1P players may play 8 ball occasionally. 8 ballers don't usually play 1P.

This is a slightly different version of 8 ball some folks might like to try.... http://sites.google.com/site/poolandbilliard/Home/1-2-eight
