SARGON (COMPUTER) (born 1977) United States of America [what is this?] Its programmers are Kathleen and Don Spracklen. Gary Shannon, brother of Kathleen, rewrote a port of Sargon II for the TRS-80 that runs on the Apple II. Sargon III uses a capture search algorithm instead of its original exchange evaluator. https://chessprogramming.wikispaces... Last updated: 2017-12-24 11:08:12

Aug-09-10    whiteshark: Here is the Sargon I full source-code for Z80 (the book content in fact): http://web.archive.org/web/20070614... Naturally Sargon is impressive, but having a chess program fully running (even if primitive) on 1KB RAM (code+data) is hot! It’s not a good chess program and will only challenge beginners, true beginners, but still it plays chess!
