If they're such chess masters, why did we beat them 15 straight?

In head to head competition, Sargon V beat Chessmaster 3000 fifteen out of fifteen games.

(Picture Caption: Played on 286 and 386 PC's at our testing facilities.)

Anyone who tells you that their chess game can master Sargon V ought to have their rooks realigned. Because we actually pitted Sargon V against Chessmaster 3000. And in 15 games, Chessmaster threw in the towel every time.

Real Chess Masters Use Sargon V

The best chess players insist on playing with Sargon V. Take the Raging Rooks, for example.

The only thing tougher than these New Yorkers is their chess game. They're champions, thanks to their skill, intelligence and rigorous regimented routine of Sargon V.

(Picture Caption: A portion of each sale goes to The Raging Rooks, Chess Champions who train with Sargon V.)

We're so proud of these kids that we actually donate a part of every Sargon V sale to help them get to the national chess championship.

Of course, it's not just pride that makes Sargon V a better chess game. There are tons of technical advances, too.

Sargon V is faster. With better sound and brilliant screens that display in either two or three dimensions. And brand new challenges that result from entirely new chess algorithms. (Picture Caption: Sargon V 3D Screen.)

Real Chess Masters Don't Lose

Look, chess is about thinking smart and winning smart. So the next time someone tells you their game can master yours, throw down the gauntlet and dare them to try Sargon V.

We'd say the odds of proving your point were, oh, about 15 to 1 in your favor.

CHESS

WORLD CLASS CHESS:DER LEHRMEISTER UND GEGNERFÜR ALLE SPIELSTÄRKEN.

SPIELEN SIE GEGEN EINEN GROSSMEISTER!
Messen Sie sich mit einem Gegner, der dank der Mitarbeit des Internationalen Meisters Dr. Danny Kopec die klassischen ZĂŒge aus Partien der jĂŒngsten Schachgeschichte - etwa Karpow/Kasparow 1990 - kennt. Entwickeln Sie Ihre Gewinnstrategie mit Hilfe von kommentierten Partien. Der Doyen der amerikanischen Schachwelt, George Kolatnowski, erlĂ€utert die Gedanken hinter jenen ZĂŒgen, die Schachgeschichte gemacht haben. Versuchen Sie, die GegenzĂŒge der Grossmeister zu erraten, indem Sie beispielhafte Partien laden, zuerst die möglichen ZĂŒge herausfinden und sich dann vom System zeigen lassen, was in den klassischen Partien wirklich geschah. Ihre "ReifeprĂŒfung"? Stellen Sie das Programm auf "Turnier" und fordern Sie World Class Chess in der höchsten SpielstĂ€rke heraus. Die Zeit lĂ€uft mit, wie im richtigen Turnier.

SIE SIND AM ZUG
Einfach den Bildschirm an der richtigen Stelle anklicken - und schon wird in dreidimensionaler Darstellung eine der Schachfiguren gefĂŒhrt. Von Ihnen oder Ihrem Gegner. Wenn Sie World Class Chess auf "AnfĂ€nger" einstellen und eine Figur auswĂ€hlen, zeigt Ihnen das Programm die Felder, auf die Sie ziehen dĂŒrfen. Wenn Sie die Partie ab einem bestimmten Zug neu spielen wollen, klicken Sie einfach auf "Liste der ZĂŒge". Verbessern Sie Ihr Spiel, speichern Sie die Partie und nehmen Sie sie spĂ€ter wieder her, um sie zu analysieren.

SCHACH IHREN GEGNERN
World Class Chess wird Ihr ganz privater Schachlehrmeister - und wenn Sie das nĂ€chste Mal einem wirklichen Gegner gegenĂŒbersitzen, zeigen Sie ihm einmal, was wirkliche SpielstĂ€rke bedeutet!
