Sargon was a line of chess-playing software for personal computers. The initial version written by Dan and Kathe Spracklen, was introduced at the 1978 West Coast Computer Faire, where it won the first computer chess tournament held strictly for microcomputers. Later versions of Sargon appeared at regular intervals up to Sargon V in 1991.
