Such an interesting section of history that seems to be unknown by many people. What would you say is the most interesting story associated with 'The Turk'?

[bonsai9723]

The discovery of how it functioned. The search to discobver its secrets.

Hi Neil, Thanks for the kind words. I do lots of things and enjoy them all. I have written science fiction, chess articles, collectable articles, etc. I have many interests that keep me forever un-bored. Regards, Jerry

I loved your book. I ran into it by accident in a library around 10 years ago and I remember recently reading it from cover to cover and being fascinated by it. I am doing a series of lectures for a chess club in Glendora, CA at Citrus College and my first lecture will be about the Turk!

I heard of the Turk after watching Game over: Garry Kasparov vs. the machine...then did some research on wikipedia and watched some old movies made in 1927 which introduced "the turk". Fascinating story !

Wow! Very interesting. I'd never even heard of 'The Turk'. What don't you do jerry? Your talents are endless.

Peace and Blessings
