- TIL about the first "chess computer" AKA "The Turk." Built in 1770 to impress the empress of Austria, it wasn't really a computer, but had a man hidden underneath and fooled the public into thinking it was a real machine. It played Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Edgar Allan Poe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/the_turk 11 comments chess
