I remember it's a book about the Sargon I program. I have never been able to get
it, but I have heard about it.
BTW the Sargon II program of the next year was MUCH stronger, so I think the
book has been written too early! :-)
But I'm sure it's worth reading it. Being able to have a look at the source code
must be very interesting for a programmer. I think I would be interesting in the
"style" (comments, variable naming and so on...) then on the actual mechanics of
the chess engine.
