Deep in the shrouds of 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 the ancestor of all chess computer programs let
built. Experience the fascination of the chess duel "Man vs.
Machine " in a unique combination from past and present:
the Turk & Fritz9. Face up to the duel. As did World
Champion Vladimir Kramnik and Garry Kasparov, who,
followed by millions of chess fans, played for mankind
against FRITZ.
