The first rules of snooker were created in 1882, sometime after Chamberlain's merging of the 2 games. Chamberlain would taunt bad players at the game by calling them ' real snookers', mocking their inexperience, and earning the game its name. The name of the game comes from soldierly slang: 'snooker' was a term describing inexperienced troops and first-time cadets. Thus, snooker's predecessors, life pool and pyramid pool, were born, Then in 1875, Sir Neville Chamberlain decided to combine the rules of these 2 games, giving us the earliest version of snooker. However, billiards was only playable by 2 persons, which prompted the development of multiplayer versions of the game. At first, the game was almost exclusively played by nobility, but in the 19th century, it found immense popularity amongst the British military in India. Snooker owes its origins to billiards, a similar game that has been around since the 16th century.
