A player wins a match when a certain number of frames have been won.Snooker, generally regarded as having been invented in India by British Army officers, is popular in many of the English-speaking and Commonwealth countries, with top professional players attaining multi-million pound career earnings from the game.The sport is particularly and increasingly popular in China.
