While I may not agree with all the lines suggested, Palliser always provides alternatives that suit different playing styles, which is a huge plus.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;\"\u003eThis book has quickly become my go-to resource when someone online surprises me with a line I’ve never encountered.
