    If you like watching chess then it's the game to watch and in one shot took over 3 minutes to hit a ball as the player kept standing there thinking and think I will give this match a miss as * falling asleep waiting for them to hit a ball .
    The other match so different players going for everything and hitting a ball within 10 seconds .

    Jiahui Si is such a breath of fresh air, spurred on by the exuberance of youth he's going for everything but also measured in his approach and playing without any fear, it's brilliant tae watch.

    Selby and Allen is obviously a high standard, but it’s an absolute snooze fest.

    That’s coming from someone who generally enjoys a safety battle.

    Si is outstanding to watch, just goes for absolutely everything and it’s refreshing to see. Compared to the other semi where they could only get 5 frames done in an 8 frame session.

    Was out tonight so only just caught up with the evening session. Incredible standard from both, just a joy to watch.

    The final is gonna be fascinating whoever ends up getting there. Two solid match players in one semi, two exhibitionist fizzers in the other.

    Would give my left baw to see Si win it but it will take more than good form to beat Selby or Allen. Si, I've noticed, has a superb safety game, but is prone to overly ambitious shots at times. Selby/Allen will punish that far more than Brecel will.

    Exciting few days ahead!!

    Not normally a massive fan of the snooker but this world championship has been brilliant. A bit of everything.
    Can’t believe it’s 14-14 now with Si and Brecel.

    Absolutely gutted for Si. The talent that boy has is something you don't see very often, genuinely think he might be the next player to challenge Ronnie for GOAT status, he's that good.

    No taking away from Brecel though, outrageous talent aswell and produced the best comeback of all time. Incredible match.

    * me!! This Allen v Selby match is boring as *. I understand the game is about safety at times but c’mon tae *. 30mins a frame! Up and down like a whores drawers on a shot. Just * play it. I’d love to see a max shot clock or thinking time applied. 2mins is more than enough but these * are taking ages.
    Selby currently holds the record for taking over 7 mins on a shot. So I’m no surprised. What a boring *. Jester my *.

    Couldn’t watch these long tactical games all the time but I don’t actually mind it.
