The “Mechanical Turk,” the famous 18th-century chess-playing automaton, was recently celebrated with a reproduction created by Roland Burgermeister during the 100th anniversary festivities of the Yverdon-les-Bains Chess Club.

This event showcased a reconstruction of this historical hoax that captivated Europe. You’ll have the chance to face it on Friday, April 3 at Polymanga at the Swiss Gamers Network booth.
