Russian Billiards

Came across this rare billiards with a weird player on youtube today. The game is called Russian Billiards (Moscow pyramid). Although the gameplay is still potting the balls, it still have several differences from the western pool (typical 8-ball and 9-ball).

The major difference of cos is the BALLS. 15 white balls and 1 yellow or red ball. Even the ball size is different, they are much bigger and heavier (my guess is becos they are russian =x). Aight, therefore the table are bigger yet pockets are smaller (something similar to snooker). But as for the rules of the game, Im still not very sure about it. I do believe that the objective of the game is to pot in the yellow or red cue ball and resume to pot a white ball. Also seen in somewhere that there is another game with this objective of potting the cue ball in snooker.

And this great player of Russian Billiards is Evgeny Stalev. His unique stroke really caught my attention. But too bad there ain't much video of him on the youtube.
