		Acornsoft was intermediate but later testing showed that it does consider underpromotion which BBC Soft does not.
		Concepts always sticks rigidly to its one minute for each move whereas Acornsoft has playing levels which have to be set higher for an end game to play at the test speed.
		All the programs appeared capable of performing the king, queen versus king ending (Acornsoft needs level six or seven for this and announces its move with a chime) but the king, rook versus king ending was too difficult for all of them.

		After five years in the ring it was still the unbeaten champion, and you can imagine why, Acorn had all the knowledge about the beeb, everything which it was capable of, and how to do it in the best way possible, which is why most of their games are extremely well programmed.
		Acornsoft offered a prize for anyone who could complete the riddles in the game, the prize being a badge saying "I conquered the Castle of Riddles".

	Comparing UniComal with Acorn COMAL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		AcornSOFT COMAL as implemented on Acorn 8-bit computers, and used under emulation on both Acorn 32-bit machines and Apple Macs, differs from UniCOMAL in many ways.
		Several of the Acornsoft keywords are different from their equivalents in UniCOMAL, and worse still, there are instances where an UniComal keyword is used for something completely different in the Acorn implementation, as for example PAGE, which clears the text screen in UniComal but sets the origin location of the program in memory in Acorn-speak.
		Many of the facilities which Acornsoft COMAL users take for granted, such as a teletext display, linked text and graphics displays, 4-channel sound etc., are either absent from UniComal or are implemented in the UniComal module library.
