Sargon: A Computer Chess Program

Summary: Computer Chess - Program Line By Line
Review: First saw the book back in 1979. Bought the book in (May) 1981 and studied the program. Bought a TRS-80 Model 1 (second hand) in 1982. With the computer was the SARGON program. I played a few games on level 1 and it won. I thought I knew the program, but it still beat me. I took the program apart line by line using the book and started to win. I got up to level 4, of the 6 levels, and I would beat it more time than it beat me. (A game would take 2 or 3 days.) The book is the heart and soul to the program. It IS the program.
