I don't think so. Sargon on 6502 was strong, but it was basically a brute force
program.

Ed's programs were selective, and much stronger.

Here is the best 6502 computer ever tested by the SSDF:

 106 Mephisto MM 4 Turbo Kit  6502 16 MHz    2093   46   -42   292   73%  1918

I'm almost sure Ed is the programmer of the Mephisto Polgar:

 113 Mephisto Polgar  6502 10 MHz            2042   43   -41   283   59%  1979

I don't know if he is also the author of the MM4.

The best program on 6502 by the Spracklens is:

 160 Fidelity Par Excellence  6502 5 MHz     1835   22   -22  1022   48%  1846

The ratings are from the January 2000 SSDF list. They should be comparable to
human elos.


If anything here is wrong, I'm sure somebody will correct me.
