        ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY

        Of all the players who have appeared at the Crucible, or will be doing so in 2008, what is the most common initials? This is BOTH initials, so for example JS for John Spencer and Joe Swail.

        The correct answer will contain the winning set of initials and all the players who share them.

        If more than one set of initials are joint top, then ANY example will win the point.

                              John Higgins did it in 1998 and 2000, while Ronnie O'Sullivan did it in 2000 and 2002 (in 2002 it spanned two matches).

                              An easy one:

                              What connects (1) the 2003 Scottish Open champion, (2) the Scotsman who played at the Crucible in 1983, (3) the man from the Republic of Ireland who played at the Crucible in 1989, (4) the Whirlwind, and (5) the Irishman who reached the Crucible in 1999 and 2003 and drew the defending champion in the first round both years?
