2. Turk - the first chess machine
In the 18th century, a chess machine was invented that could "independently" think and play with anyone. It was a wooden box on which sat a life-size wax figure dressed in Turkish attire, and in front of it was Chess board.
Before the start of the game, the doors of the box were opened, and the audience could see a very complex mechanism inside the machine. After that, the doors were closed, and the machine was started with a key. Both Napoleon Bonaparte and Benjamin Franklin lost to this machine.
In fact, a strong chess player was sitting inside the box, hidden behind a system of mirrors. He won everyone.
This game consisted of 269 moves, lasted 20 hours and 15 minutes and ended in a draw. Theoretically, more than 5,000 moves can be made in a single chess game, it all depends on the special rules (rule of 50 moves and three repetitions of the position), as well as on bad game chess players.
50 move rule - A player can claim a draw if no pieces have been captured in the last 50 moves, and no pawn moves have been made.
Triple repetition of a position - the same moves are repeated. In this case, the player can offer a draw.
