1995: Move in haste, repent at leisure

Game Karlsson,Å - Regis,D, Douglas Phillips Quickplay, 1995

Move in haste, repent at leisure

"Buzzer" quickplay is, in my view, undoubtedly the time control which produces the poorest quality chess, which of course adds to its charm. Naturally, because of the speed of the game, few scores exist, but thanks to the prodigious chess brain of Ågust Karlsson one such has been preserved. The final perpetual check is cute, but I hope you enjoy the rest of it more than we did! — DR
