Even though, it was shown that the machine could not think on its own, the Turk raised the possibility that unlike all the other machines invented during the industrial revolution meant to replace human physical activity, it might be possible to invent machines which can also replace the mental activity. The Turk operated through a concealed operator, who controlled each movement from inside the cabinet by candle light, pulling levers to operate the Turk’s arm. Many stories about how the Turk was worked were circulating among engineers and scientists, however, the truth was quite simple. Von Kempelen’s secret behind creating such an impressive machine was revealed several decades later. It became a sensation and everyone wanted to play against the Turk.
The Turk seemed to be able to respond to unpredictable human behaviour and to operate based on his own sense of rationality and reason.

When playing, the Turk was moving his head pretending to think, his arm and fingers were moving and were able to move chess pieces from one square to another. The great chess automaton Paperback Janu. The Turk was designed to play chess against any human opponent. The machine consisted of a mechanical man wearing a dress and a turban sitting on a wooden cabinet that was overlaid with a chessboard. He created it for the Habsburg Archduchess Maria Theresa. To continually maintain this illusion even during play, von kempelen would wander around the room during the game and invited the audience to bring magnets, irons and other things to test if the machine functioned through the use of magnetism or weighting (Standage, 203-204).The Mechanical Turk, also known as the Automaton Chess Player was the first chess-playing machine, built in the 1770s by Wolfgang von Kempelen. If the Turk’s challenger made an illegal move, the Turk could shake his head, put his opponent’s piece back, and move his own. Ajeeb was a life-sized fellow with a movable head, torso, and right arm everything you need to play a. At the fair of 1890 there was a special exhibit - an automaton, or mechanical man called Ajeeb who was world famous for his chess playing abilities. The Turk had some movements that it could make, those being: nodding two times if he threatened his opponent’s queen, three times if he put the king in check. This building was nearly 4 acres big and could hold well over 10,000 people at one time. The Turk always used the white chess pieces and had the first move. After this, von Kempelen would tell them that the Turk was ready for a game with a willing challenger. He would open the doors and drawers and allow audience members to inspect the machine thoroughly. He always went through an elaborate demonstration of the machine and all of its parts. The Turk debuted in 1770, about six months after the illusionists’ acts that von Kempelen had seen in Empress Maria’s court. When Turck made a move, it was incorporated that clock-like sounds would be made while he moved (Standage, 195-199).

Charles Michael Carroll Great Chess Automaton Taschenbuch 1. To continue the misdirection even further than this, the arm of the Turk could be moved with a lever, opening and closing his hand in a suit with the lever’s operation. This allowed for furthering the illusion, as it kept the operator invisible (Standage, 24-27). He further goes on with the presentation with a sliding operator’s seat, which when slid caused the gears of the machine to come into view. It was intended that onlookers could see through the machine, which helped to maintain the illusion that von Kempelen was trying to sustain. When opened, it had a variety of gears similar to a clock on one side, while on the other it had a cushion and other brass parts. The design of the machine was intended to leave observers confused as to how it worked.
