Well, I can give you the creators of Sargon (in general):  Dan and Kathe
Spracklen.  They no longer write chess programs as I understand it.  Sargon (I
think it was III, could have been Sargon II) had the honor of defeating a
mainframe chess program in a tournament game.  I used to run it on my Apple II
computer -- my guess was its ELO was somewhere around 1500 (about 1700 USCF).
