Sargon III / Amiga probably is the most "classic" Sargon version. I liked it too. I think it's the only reason why I still have my old Amiga 500 available ready to run (? at least I think it's there; currently I see only a big pile of dust :o)) An example game of Sargon III Amiga (40/2h): http://www.computerschach.de/einleit/kapitel4.htm (in german language) [Event "Vienna"] [Site "?"] [Date "1991.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Sargon III (Amiga)"] [Black "Turbo 16K"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "C36"] 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3.

Rxd4 Kf8 35. c5 1-0 This version was less colorful, but IMO more smooth running in the Amiga OS than the latest DOS version, Sargon V, which had a very low screen resolution compared to todays pc standards. For Sargon V, *expanded* memory should be configured. It can use up to 2 MB hash memory then, IIRC. But expanded memory will most probably only be possible with earlier DOS until Win98. It requires EMM386.EXE. A recent result of Sargon V, running at 20 secs per move on a P2/333 (the opponents at 40/2h).
