Go up one level in this thread


If you play Fritz 9 using the turk as metaphore, you must acept the full of it.
The turk was a contrivance made of mechanical elements that moved in that way.
The virtual imitation must do the same or then it is not the turk. If that
bothers you, simply does not use it. I suppose to enjoy the turk you must put
yourself in the state of mind of a XIX century guy going to the circus and
playing the weird, supposedly automatic  machine.
Turkish regards
