Subject: Amusing errors to Sargon 4

White: Jonathan
Black: Sargon 4
1 E2-E4    E7-E5
2 G1-F3    F7-F5
3 F1-C4    F5xE4
4 C4-F7ch  E8xF7
5 F3-E5ch  F7-F6
6 O-O      F6xe5
7 D2-D4ch  (D7-D3 illegal move)

Apparently, Sargon 4 does not understand check and en passant at the same time
with black pieces.
I tried this vice-versa (meaning I am black & the comp. is white), but the moves
were legal.

Here is something I didn't expect.
White: Jonathan
Black: Sargon 4
1 G1-F3   G8-F6
2 F3-G1   F6-G8 (the score is zero with this move; all other moves give a
negative score)

Any move except retreating the knight to its original square is acceptable.
The game is a draw by 3 move repitition.  How ridiculous.
When Sargon 4 is white, this doesn't happen.

I don't recommend Sargon 4, just like Excalibur hand held buttons & Fidelity
Challenger 7.
