A draft is here: http://www.sharesnack.com/5D5C5C97C... There are links to games at chessgames.com. I have submited 4 games 1 were rejected (Page 26: Day-Upton, Malta 1980) Still need 4 games: Page 9: Bolton-Sofrevsky, Canadian Open 1978 Page 13: Bohatirchuk-Heidenheld, corr 1954 Page 14: Day-MacPhail, Hamilton 1980 Page 26: Day-J Meyer, Washington 1979 May-15-12    IMlday: The print is too small or broken to read on my computer, :( May-15-12    parisattack: I can read it fine, Full Screen Mode. Thanks <Lysgaard>, May-15-12    Lysgaard: HI Link to regular pdf: http://www.fam-lysgaard.dk/data/TBC... It will be removed after 72 hours. There has been no kind of proof I use to have The Big Clamp, but it disappear during a relocation, I have searched for it for a long time, with no succeed, So I did try the internet with no more succeed, the only copy I could find were the pure copy at Scribd mention on the The Kenilworthian blog. I decided to rework that copy (OCR text and make new diagrams) and make a Word document for myself. When I had finished page 26, I found my copy unexpected. I continue the work with the hope of being allowed to "publish" it on the web. After proof, It can be available as Word documents in letter and A4 formats. May-16-12    IMlday: Yes that works, thanks. It's curious that a thirty year old opening book should still be interesting. Maybe it is because it was more about middle-game themes than specific opening moves. May-25-12    LoveThatJoker: <IMlday> Do you teach? LTJ May-25-12    Lysgaard: Hi I have made a "THE BIG CLAMP" page on my website: http://fam-lysgaard.dk/TBC.html Is it ok that I make "THE BIG CLAMP" available? I can’t ask "The Chess Player" I don’t think they exist anymore. And a second question, has anyone one or more of the missing games that I mention the 15-may-12 Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 81) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 79 OF 81 ·  Later Kibitzing>
