And that was great to see.

And that's why the crowd, I think, loved him.

I think they're just watching what guys have done, you know?

before them and just saying, no, this is the way to go.

This is the way the game is going.

And this is the best way to play.

That they're so confident in their own game and their scoring ability that they want to get in off one shot.

And that's why Morphy sort of changed the break even to the normal sort of compulsory break around the four cushions from the bottom red.

there was always like a red coming out left or right.

And more often than not, these guys are such good long potters.

They're going to get that long red.

He might be sitting down for the rest of the frame.

So he tried to do something different that create more sort of traffic, open more reds from the break off.

So even if there was a red hanging out,

You'd have to negotiate the cue ball through a bit of traffic and made the pot so much more difficult.

And it worked a really good effect.

But yeah, they want to get in after one long shot.
