| Mar-25-05 | | muddywaters: i had sargon in the 80's on my old commodore 64, that was a terrible chessprogram, once i wanted to hit en passent and it didn't know it. and you couldn't promote to a kinight ar rook, only to a queen. funny program though, although i was a very little kid then. |

 | | Sneaky: Later versions of Sargon were much better. It was ground-breaking technology at the time. I remember skimming though a book written by the authors Dan and Kathe Spracklen. It was one of the first programs that used piece-mobility and pawn-structure as part of its heuristics to evaluate positions, instead of simply bean-counting.

| Jun-14-05 | | Warrush: Botvinnik did a great job on the kings rook file. Excellent last game! |
|
| Jun-14-05 | | DanRoss53: Indeed! Classic anti-computer play here by Botvinnik letting the computer grab pawns while weaking the position. |
|
| Aug-28-05 | | RookFile: I must say, when I try moves like
10. h3 against the computer, it just
eats the pawn, and 15 moves later, I'm resigning. Botvinnik's 10. h3 really impresses me here. |

 | | thegoodanarchist: The positional pawn sac against engines in the pre-1990s seemed to be almost like money in the bank. |

| | thegoodanarchist: and Botvinnik was 72 years old when he played this game. |

 | | whiteshark: "The famous three-time world chess champion Mikhail Botvinnik played a game with Sargon in 1983 at Hamburg. He did not play his best moves but only tested the program's capabilities. Botvinnik himself was also involved in chess program development." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sargo... |
