Which do you think has been the best World Championship in the last decade?

2016 was worse.

At the time I thought 2011 wouldn't be beaten and I don't think it has. It had good matches in each round with he best coming at the one table stage. Plus there were more intrigue around the event with Trump's breakthrough, Hendry's threatened retirement, O'Sullivan having not won a match in months and the continued controversy over Higgins.

2011 was great apart from the theatrics surrounding Higgins at the end of it.

Really soured it for me. Ruined it, even.

2016 was a very good championship. Again, a terrible ending spoiled it.

2012 started well but by the quarter finals it was a procession. I can barely remember anything about 2013.

2010 has the best early rounds imo, The quarters were absolutely stunning.
Last year was very good too.

2013 was my favourite. Ronnie taking the whole season out without playing a single competitive match and winning it with style was great to see, I didn't think he could play so well given he didn't play in anything but he was playing peak Snooker at times, against Bingham and especially against Hawkins. 6 centuries and 16 breaks over 50 at the age of 37, probably his 2nd best Crucible performance after 2004's 17-4.
No will will have the confidence to try that.

Steve Davis v Neil Robertson wasn't a stunning quarter final though!
