In the misty beginnings of chess history we find the world’s first chess machine, the
legendary Chess Turk. Built by a Baron for a Queen, the automaton was half
human, half robot. Napoleon Bonaparte battled against it, Benjamin Franklin
bowed to its brilliant play, and Edgar Allan Poe tried to dissect it with his
analytical mind, torn between fear and fascination. Now you can relive history
and play the dreaded Turk yourself – in perfect 3D animation, 235 years after
the empress Maria Theresia had this ancestor of all chess computer programs built. Experience the fascination of the chess duel "Man vs. Machine" - in a
unique combination of past and present: the Turk & Fritz9. Face up to the
duel as did World Champions Vladimir Kramnik and Garry Kasparov, who, followed
by millions of chess fans, played for mankind against FRITZ
