"Sargon was the warlord who ruled the ancient world. Patient, cunning, a master strategist...and the inspiration for the new standard in computer chess, SARGON 4.

You can set SARGON's playing strength to any of sixteen levels, and then fine tune it to get the game that's right for you. If you're a little rusty, SARGON's many teaching features (such as on-line help, chess tutorial, hints, problems, and special novice mode) make improving your play both fun and easy. And even experts will be challenged by SARGON's chess algorithm, the most powerful available on a microcomputer.

"The Sargon series were the connoisseur's chess games at the time. This edition includes variable move times, ranging from 5 seconds to infinity. Moves can be undone and you can swap sides during the game. The search feature displays its calculations as you play, which can be useful to learn from. Special tactical situations, opening move sequences and checkmate practices can be loaded in for learning purposes."
