Wow!

I am lost for words and stunned!

Here is a man driven by something like love or obsession!

Translate his German PDF to English online here.

Fancy being a bit cheeky? Please ask him the following:

Given that he's converted Sargon to C#, how about... transpiling the code into JavaScript so that it can run directly from a web page?

Modern browsers can run JavaScript really quickly these days - the program might well be as strong, or even stronger, than the original!

One possible issue: running a heavy JavaScript program might cause the web page to lock up in the browser. Maybe ask somebody who has already written a JavaScript chess program how they handled this (I could offer suggestions, but I'm not an expert). Alternatively, if the site is hosted on a Google server, the JavaScript can run asynchronously on the Google host without locking up the browser at all!

Some C# to JavaScript transpilers - link.

Sargon is available in a web page powered by JavaScript (since 2012) - link.

How strong in mips is the atmel cpu ?! Related to 6502 ?!

16 Mips ?,

The speed of that CPU is roughly 1 MIP per Mhz - link, so 16 MIPS would be about right.

My guess is that the CPU choice is not related to dedicated chess computer history (except that he didn't pick a powerful Ryzen APU or SnapDragon SOC), but rather that somehow Chrilly has fallen into Arduino programming.

IMO Arduinos (link) peaked in popularity about 5-10 years ago, and they're no longer special or impressive now.

Any new news on Chrilly Donninger, and wow thank you for sharing this.
