CLOCKWORK GAME GN
Relisted

In 1769, the court of Empress Maria Theresa witnessed one of that era's most amazing feats of engineering: The Turk, a machine that could play chess. Artfully constructed by a Hungarian nobleman named Wolfgang von Kempelen, the chess-machine played a unique game against each opponent, far surpassing the abilities of all its fellow automata. Napoleon, Charles Babbage, and Benjamin Franklin were among its challengers, and Edgar Allen Poe wrote an essay attempting to explain how it worked.
