Some time ago, looking for a chess program, I organized head-to-head matches between programs, and in fact Psion Chess was the best one. Sargon wasn't bad either, but chessmaster was ridiculous. The fun part was turning both program "show analysis" option, and see that Psion and chessmaster anticipated totally different moves!!! (of course psion was right, and each time, chessmaster was in for a surprise...) Too bad Psion wasn't ported on the amiga (or did I missed it?) Perhaps it can run under Amax (it doesn't run under medusa -- too bad) Of course, this isn't an answer to the original poster: psion chess is not fun to play, it is too strong a program, and since it thinks during your time, it can still humiliate me even at the lowest level... :-) On the other hand, I only played with it, because it takes NO time to answer your move, since it already analysed it...

Except skill wise ChekcMate destroys Sargon IV, much less SARGON II.
(I meant Sargon III, which is all that is available on the Amiga I think)
