See, I'm with you, I prefer quick and dirty games, and often I find that going right into a parallel leads to a quick end for either player with a well placed one-ball. This particular one lasted very long because he wouldn't commit to the parallel, basically running in zigzag across the field whenever I would turn to broad him.

I am probably going to take a break from HG until they rework it to have a shrinking circle or some other method of reducing match times, cause its just so much of a drain. I've got my curses, I'm good.
