Reception

Game Players PC Entertainment wrote: "Activision's chess title isn't quite as challenging as Grandmaster Chess, but the vast majority of chess fans will find Sargon V more than strong enough to keep them playing for quite a while."[3] PC Joker rated the game about equal to Chessmaster 3000, the German language option was noted as the most significant feature above the competition.[9] Amiga Joker compared the DOS version with 12 other chess programs in a special Strategy issue and Sargon V was rated the fourth highest.[7] Play Time [de] compared the game unfavorably to Chessmaster 3000.[5] Génération 4 called the game a "classic" and "perfectly realized".[1] Tilt said: "if it is not the most beautiful chess program, World Class Chess is currently the strongest (even superior to the remarkable Chess Champion)."[6]
