[ bug to KR8 -- Splat! ]

Ah, yes ... cheating.  The original version of Sargon for the
Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I would cheat, also.
	Once I had it in check, and it ignored this.
The next move, I took its King ... drawing Sargon's attention
to the fact that it had lost.
	It made ANOTHER move, and redrew the board showing my
King as being its color, while a King of my color was nowhere
to be found.  
	I never got to find out what it would have done when I
took the second King, since it crashed a move later.
	It wasn't my computer, so I never got the chance
to play it again and try and duplicate the bug.
