Genius kid from Belgium

[sunny3909]

During the UK championships last year Clive Everton mentioned in commentary that there is a 12 yr old in Belgium who is making 147's.
He must be a serious talent if he is playing so well at such a young age.

Does anyone know who this kid is?

[Goldspark]

Luca Brecel. He's 13 now, I believe.

His coach is Chris Henry

Luca is an incredible player ! I watched him play at the PHC in Fuerth. Amazing ! It looked all so easy. He's a great talent.

Hi Monique

The wonder kid you are linking to in the gallery hardly can be called a kid anymore. Grown up, two titles this year and beat O´Sullivan in the Welsh Open

Well this is strange because when I click on that link I get Luca's picture, not Mark Selby's... I'll leave it as it is - so that it can be tested - and ask the mods what's the matter. Selby's is the last one in that gallery.

tester #2 reports: directed to that, nontheless very cool, picture of Mark Selby

Yes, I see Mark Selby too
But just about clever enough to work it out.

Genius kid of 13!
He looks older to me
( or should I say THAN me)

[poolqjunkie]

Is that Mark Selby picture a bit out of focus?

[miscuehamburg]

I get the Selby pic too. The correct link: http://www.thesnookerforum.com/galle...album=44&pos=6.
It's just the last number (6 instead of 15).

Anyway interesting infos, even if cannot read Flaemisch. When will we see Luca at Pios then?

[Monique]

Well when I click on that link above ... I get Murphy!!!

[PaulTheSoave]

Must be an omen. Muprhy to beat ROS at The UK or Worlds. hehehehehe

[miscuehamburg]

It is literally a random gallery then. Maybe the mods should have a look indeed

This is an annoying quirk of the gallery - if you have the pictures sorted in a different way, then an image will appear in a different position within its gallery and a link like Monique's won't work.

The only reliable way to link images is to copy the url from the 'file information' section (you might need to click the blue 'i' above-left of the image for that to appear).

That'll give you something like this: http://thesnookerforum.com/gallery/d...e.php?pos=-853 , which should be Luca for everyone.
