Colonel Sir Neville Chamberlain is accredited with inventing the game of snooker in India, 1875 with officers of the 11th Devonshire regiment. During the monsoons, the officers used to spend their time in the billiards room, and the two of the most popular games were ‘pyramids’ and ‘black pool’. ‘Pyramids’ had 15 red cue balls arranged in the form of a pyramid, and ‘black pool’ had different coloured cue balls and the opponent had to pot the ball. Chamberlain combined both these different sports to give birth to the game of snooker.
