All fine with me. >If the game longs for 50 moves, it gives about 1200 hours computation >time to Sargon against 1 hour for Tiger. This makes the game a real >challenge, I think (with some chances for me to loose, maybe). I am not sure but wasn't SARGON-II limited to a maximum depth of 8 plies? Or was that SARGON-I? I don't remember precisely. But we will soon find out. > I can check my email at any given time you like.

Doing so the work involved for me is not much. It may happen that on some days I have no time but I will do my best. >The game could last 1 month or 2, and it could be a kind of soap opera >for the readers of CCC. What a crazy idea!
