It is called “The Exhilarating Elephant Gambit” by Aabling - Thomsen and Jensen. 416 pages, a heavy tome. <br /><br />Purser and I were friends since 1991, when I subscribed to his BDG World. I was fortunate enough to buy a complete set of BDG World issues from him directly. We used to talk on the phone a lot. I contributed games and analyses to his Blackmar Diemer Gambit World until he ceased publication in 1998. <br /><br />Tom V. Purser was a good friend. He will be missed by all who knew him. Lev D.
