Gilchrist beats Kothari to reclaim world billiards title

The Hindu  

Peter Gilchrist of Singapore on Saturday dethroned Sourav Kothari as world billiards champion by beating the Indian in the long-up format played over five hours in three sessions here. It was a classical cat and mouse game between two great exponents of the game as Kothari first took control of the proceedings with the help of a massive 279 break followed by 89 to take a commanding 300-plus lead in the first session. But some unforced error by Kothari at vital junctures gave Gilchrist unexpected opportunities to bounce back and brought down the deficit to 100 points. The final hour saw Gilchrist showing exceptional calmness as he produced a lethal blow of 300 to go ahead by 300 odd points with only five minutes left on the clock before winning the contest.
