No

Crafty is written in C
Junior is written in C++
Goliath is not pure assembler and I remember that
the evaluation is written in C(I am not sure if it was C or C++ but I am sure
that I read that he did not ue assembler).

I think that pure assembler is not prefered today by most programmers
and if it is used then it is used mainly for things that are fixed and not going
to be changed.
