Pool Checkers

American Pool Checkers

The American Pool is the same game as the regular Pool but with a couple cosmetic differences - numeric notation and black side moves first.
This was introduced by the Straight Checkers players who organized first Pool Checkers tournaments and wrote the first book (see Hines).
