8:15, why dont they just cut the rack to remove it then use another for the rest of the match?

I have to say, I'm getting tired of that one example repeated over and over and over haha
he missed a few in the whole tournament :grin:
but he has been the most offensive player, others tend to choose defense so quickly
Wu Jiaqing has been brilliant recently also, I hope it will be Shane vs. Wu in the final
This argument against alternate break makes no sense. If somebody can built, for example, an 8-1 lead, then what is to stop their opponent reversing that 8-1 scoreline in the next 9 frames playing the exact same format?

Stop being logical!
They're playing the 3-ball headstring rule - only one ball down + one past the head string = illegal break.
I think he was worried that the natural 2 rail follow angle might have knuckled him on the 9 ball, which would be a very hard shot, and fiddling with the angle via a touch of stun or more OE was tricky with his long bridging.
So he settled for a potentially tricky shot on the 4 in the middle, backing himself to make it with good bridge access.
2 pocket insurance position.
It guarantees you a shot for the side or corner. The odds are in your favor to get the cue ball to the other side of the table for the better angle to break up the 7 and 8, as he did.
Insurance position is a little advanced, when you know how and when to apply it you can go from running 3 balls to 3 racks.
It's difficult to tell from a video but the natural path does not look appealing to me for a number of reasons.
2,3,4,5, pocket insurance position, everyone should learn to use it, it's really very simple.
You have to screw up pretty bad to lose insurance position.

Don't call this a come back
Pin Yi fights his way back to reach the hill first after being down at least 3 games in an alt break format. Are the odds low, yes but the same thing that got a player to his lead are the same that can get the other player there.

, I think Dennis mental readiness when he plays SVB was evident yesterday. He looked tentative and tight. I think mentally he feels intimated and defeated. I also think they are not good friends anymore after the incident in a tournament I forgot wherein Dennis pointed a finger to SVB about a foul call using a ball to measure the pocket.
I compare what Dennis is going through similar to what Nadal is feeling when facing Djokovic. There was a time when Djokovic defeated Nadal 7 straight times. Nadal played differently with Djokovic than other players. He was extra careful in doing shots he would normally do. That's how I see it.
If you look at the first one ball shot Dennis missed yesterday against SVB, I don't see it going in because of a blocked ball but he still tried to shoot it. I don't know if it is a sign of nerves or desperation for a first shot of a first game. I just sympathized with Dennis. I think it will take time if he can beat Shane again because of the mental factor and not because of skill.
It would be interesting to know the record of Dennis vs Darren and Shane, Darren vs Shane and Dennis. I usually hear news of Darren beating Shane, Shane beating Dennis but Dennis beating Darren? I am not sure of their records. I just think Darren usually beat Shane because Darren plays slower and probably it just stifles Shane a bit.

Here are some screenshots I captured during the magic rack ordeal. The look on Dennis' face is priceless... "Really???"
