It is difficult to establish the time of the birth of Russian billiards, but now we can say with confidence that he laid the foundation for the development of many types of this game around the world. To learn how to play it, you need to know its rules and some features.
Necessary
- - a table for Russian billiards;
- - 16 balls;
- - triangle;
- - cue chalk;
- - 2 cues;
- - 2 players.
Instructions
Step 1
Place 16 balls on the table. 15 of them have the same color, usually white. And only one should remain aimed. On the surface of each ball, its serial number must be written. Place these balls on the table in a triangle so that its base is parallel to the short board. The apex of the triangle must be at a special rear mark.
Step 2
Play the first draw. Hit the ball outside the triangle with a cue and "break" the pyramid. Make sure that the balls do not go into the pocket, but are as close to the headboard as possible after impact. If everything works out, then you will win the first draw. You will lose if the ball goes overboard, touches the tailgate, or rolls over half of your opponent.
Step 3
Do the rally again if the balls are equally close to the headboard. In case of victory, determine who should strike the first blow in the game. Further, the right to strike will be given in turn. So, take the kick off. Moreover, it should not be applied from the very line of the house, but from any other site. Your move will be successful if the ball is pocketed and if 2 or 3 object balls have touched the sides.
Step 4
Continue the game. If you failed to implement the previous condition, the move automatically goes to your opponent. He can strike himself or start all over again by placing a pyramid on the table and breaking it. Remember that all balls that your opponent will score after you are automatically credited to his account. Therefore, it is in your best interest to start the game as successfully as possible.
Step 5
Follow the rules for striking balls with a cue. You can only make a move after all the balls on the table have come to a complete stop. You can get a fine if you break this rule. Perform all the strikes on the balls accurately: do not push the cue and strike only once. In case of not hitting on any of the balls, the move is given to the opponent, and a small penalty is imposed.
Step 6
Learn to strike aimed strikes so that the balls fall into the pocket without breaking the rules of Russian billiards. If the ball is not pocketed or there has been a real deviation from the rules, the right of play passes to the opponent.
