a Swedish electrical engineer, computer scientist and technologist, in 1970 founder of [|Dataindustrier AB], which had the card computer //Data Board 4680// as first product, incorporating an Intel [|4004], a Motorola 6800 and an Intel 8080, later eventually a [|Zilog] Z80. Starting in 1977, within about one [|man-year], Karlsson wrote a chess program in Z80 assembly for that card computer, dubbed Rook. Rook **4.0** played a strong WMCCC 1980, and Rook **4.5** lost from [|Boris Spassky] during his [|simultaneous exhibition] at the 1981 [|CeBIT] fair in [|Hanover], [|Germany].
