I just loaded CM2000 and CM2100 to test something today! Unfortunately the CM2100 interface for the C64 was horribly buggy, almost unusable. The CM2000 version also had some bugs, but was mostly OK, and a pretty good chess player. The Sargon software from the Spracklens was excellent, but the interface was also a bit buggy on the C64. elo strength was not very exact back in those days, the mid-to-late 1980's, but we generally expected a good program to play perhaps Class A (1800+) -- even on the Commodore 64 at the blinding processor speed of 1 Mhz! I imagine that some of them played at elo 2000+ on faster systems such as IBM. --JRM
