Kempelen draws on the famous legend of the Mechanical Turk and turns that historical illusion into a genuine contest on the chessboard. Instead of mere deception, the focus here is on real chess, combined with the fascination of an idea that was once admired as a technical wonder. Its appeal comes especially from that link to the mechanical myth, because it revives the old dream of a thinking machine and this time makes it truly playable.
