Yes this is very good, we can absorb every step like a bed of roses and of course we hope that the forest will be fertile again. So there is no golf course in the head, yes of course. Thank you

I've seen this pattern in the computer chess community for years. First people praise something, then they get used to receiving updates, features, and upgrades for free and that's a very good thing. We saw similar attitudes around previous engines and GUIs - Rybka, Houdini, Komodo, HIARCS Chess Explorer and others. Many people want professional-grade software, enterprise-grade stability, impeccable documentation, constant updates, and open-source access, completely free and legal. I think sharing will make life happier than being a stingy human being, making hair falling, pathetic and a golf course in the head. Thank you and respectful greetings

Now there are so many free chess programs and chess machines, on the one hand I am very happy and on the other side I feel sad, I am afraid that my hair will fall out and cause strange chronic baldness, maybe I just feel jealous of the current generation in my time when I have very few options and have to buy. But thank you so much, because sharing makes your life happier than being a stingy human being.

Het schaakspel is een spannend iets, we moeten goed nadenken, met het schaakbord praten en de haarlokken vragen die uitvallen, en in de laatste schaakfase vinden we het antwoord op chronische kaalheid die niet meer te genezen is. Respectvolle groeten en hartelijk dank.

Me gusta mucho este juego, el ajedrez te hace pensar en cómo lidiar con la caída del pelo, tienes que preguntar al tablero de ajedrez y escuchar la inevitable calvicie crónica. ¡Muchas gracias

Les bonnes décisions viennent de l'expérience, et l'expérience vient des programmes/moteurs gratuits ! Cela réduit la perte de cheveux et la calvitie chronique ! Impressionnant, j'adore

What seems like a fairy tale today may become a reality tomorrow. Here we have a fairy tale the day after tomorrow.... It is possible that we can grow hair on our heads that become bald from the thought of chess....we asked for an explanation but satisfying answers did not came.... I hope the dear admin does not delete my comment, because what I am saying is a fact, without intending to offend any party. Thank you

I downloaded the C64 Sargon II Chess game to my Windows 10 PC. I am trying to run it under the VICE C64 Emulator. It loads, and displays an opening screen " Sargon II Copyright 1986 Commodore Version by Alex Ford" followed by some icons and music. I can't get it to actually run the Chess game. Any ideas??

We used to run it at the computer lab in college. We set up 2 Apple ][ next to each other and we input each other moves. This would take hours! We enjoyed the noise it made when defeated, like the brain got fried!

The Sargon II cartridge on my cousins VIC 20 was probably the first computer chess game I ever saw, back before I even knew how to play chess. And it still plays a surprisingly decent game.

Also available for Apple II.
