I started four and half years ago. I remember that chess program came into
my mind in 1983 when I got VIC 20. But with VIC one could only consider
Tic Tac Toe programs, because of the small memory. I remember anyhow I saw
a chess program for VIC. It could play - crudely. It let the kings be
captured and the game continued anyhow after taking them...

But when I bought Sargon II cartridge I got a reasonable computer opponent
for the first time in my life.
