Many years ago I used to play Sargon II on a friend's Apple IIc. When I
got my own Apple clone (Dick Smith Cat, aka Laser 3000) I had the
brilliant idea of pitting Sargon II against itself. This involved
running the game on both computers, one playing black and the other
white, and then manually entering the moves into each game.
Unfortunately, not so brilliantly, we set both games to the same
difficulty level. The result was a draw, with each game ending up with
just their queen left, moving back and forth across the board.
