Found inWork cat.: 92-73541: Lawson, K. The rules of speed chess, c1992.
The Oxford companion to chess, 1992 (Speed chess: sometimes used synonymously with Allegro, but often with the time limit reduced from 30 minutes to 25 minutes for each player, a reduction that has been found to produce games more suitable for television programs. Occasionally the term is used to describe games limited to 5 or 10 minutes for each player)
