TwT: New Tag: "Breaking Bamboo Tesuji," as suggested by Joschka. I appreciate this name because it captures the concept of preventing the bamboo from leading to damezumari-like tesuji situations. However, it's best to calculate the implications first. The tag will be implemented as soon as it is accepted.
guile: I don't think the Clamp is the main idea here. It is more about preventing the Bamboo joint and the idea that "my opponent's good point is my good point too"
TwT: To my knowledge, this tesuji was first introduced in English by James Davis in "Tesuji" (1975), where he referred to it as the clamping or slapping tesuji (see pp. 18 and 21). I even pestered Joschka during his well-deserved Christmas break to discuss my tagging concerns. To prevent confusion with the second line clamp, I created a new tag. @ecdave: If you have a better solution, your input would be greatly appreciated.
