  • Matthew Stevens' class reappeared for the pleasure of all snooker fans and reminded us what he is made of. Brave shots, great cue-ball control and superb counterattacks.
    The statistics shown in the video correspond to the date of the match.
    Cesar Muroya created a unique editing technique to extract the essence of the game without losing the drama involved. Contextual information is also an innovation appreciated by viewers.
    This format is not intended to substitute the full version but rather to make snooker more accessible to new fans. The fluency and atmosphere of the game stay in a shorter length video, allowing even experienced fans to enjoy snooker at any time.

    Matthew was really in top form, and I'm hoping this signals more magnificent performances to come. To beat a former world number one takes a lot of skill, and to even take on the shots that he did against Selby was astounding. But it was the way Matthew really put them away was top of the line.

    It's the simple truth: "Cesar Muroya created a unique editing technique to extract the essence of the game without losing the drama involved. Contextual information is also an innovation appreciated by viewers.

    Thanks again, Cesar Muroya for your terrific sharings -- including another brilliant insight (in so few words) from my favorite snooker commentator/analyst of the past 50 years, Clive Everton:
    "Century breaks are very nice, but those 60 and sometimes 70 clearances, from behind to win on pink or black -- they are the very essence of top class snooker."

    Great video again, Cesar. Matthew definitely had a bit of a renaissance at this year's UK. An idea for the brief scrolling text would be having the win/lost in a different colour to make it stand out. Green for win, red for lost. Thanks.

    • @CesarMuroya
      @CesarMuroya  Před 4 lety +3

      I like green, but it depends on the background colour so that it stands out. I will try your idea (maybe yellow) when the text can go unnoticed.

      Stevens was far better and in top 10 or 20 best snooker players of all time he's got to be top 16 ever actually, 2 world finals lost in semis 4 more times, 1 uk winner 2 runners up, 1 masters winner. Sadly lesser events he never seemed to won, despite reaching handful of finals. So much talent shame he never got what I feel he deserved but theres still a little time left I feel
