<P>It is no exaggeration to say that snooker remains one of the most popular sports across the globe. The game, unsurprisingly, boasts a host of conspicuous literary and intellectual figures amongst its followers: Stephen Fry, Martin Amis, Julian Barnes, and Richard Osman, to name just a few. But what is it exactly that draws people in time and time again?<br><br>Clive James once called snooker ''chess with balls'', and it is a fertile comparison - snooker is a sport that celebrates subtlety, slowness, and mystery.
