    I'm unimpressed with the playing abilities of Sargon (from a
chess-playing standpoint, not from a programming standpoint), and I
refuse to continue to play with a "master" that sounds like a moose. 

    They both play agressively because that's easy to program, and makes
them seem better than they are.  They both suffer seriously from the
horizon effect, and are therefore very susceptible to traps.
