I recall back in the DOS era, a game for the PC called SARGON. It came from CP/M in the 1970s.
I wonder how well it would stack up against more recent progams. A wrapper would be needed for Winboard or UCI and probably also a change from assembler to a high level language.
Kinda makes REBEL etc seem recent

I found a CP/M version in assembler, it was a tad crude like most today
looks like it had some potential
code as from 1978, in readable and cut/paste ready to feed to notepad

I think Dan/Kathe Spracklen published a book with sargon 1 source code in the book. I'd bet there are copies of that publicly available...
when i get more time, I might use google and see if there is a cleaner copy than that magazine article
only wanted to try to preserve a turning point in chess, and maybe a web page on the legacy
somebody wants to fork an open source, better off with stockfish which is at the top now
cp/m will not run on my phenom, but back in the day I had a V20 CPU that could boot DOS or CP/M which was a real value
posting the code provides a look back, especially when computer chess was already ramping up in the late 1950s with early mainframes
I can read Z-80 assembler, and 8080 too, so I can make sense of it

I have the actual assembly listing (for CP/M).
I think it could be compiled and run under an emulator.

This uses the Emulator from sourceforge called "Execute CP/M 2.2 programs on Windows"

thanks, wanted to fatten up the site for the EN speaking planet
the old ASM file is all I wanted, so that the curious can see what makes a chess program tick
over time I may add other old engines
my site is safe in the azure datacenter so content will outlive me

Sargon II was my first-ever computer chess program. Bought it in early 1981. Little did I know then what mischief that inspiration would get me into decades later.
I question the mischief aspect, nothing wrong with chess. Sure the game is old but its a safe recreation.
