The Mechanical Turk

Nowadays computers are very very good at chess. But once upon a time this wasn't true. The first mechanised chess player was a thing called the "Mechanical Turk" that played chess against you by moving peices around with its hand etc. But it was actually a man inside not a machine.

Some things are really difficult for computers but easy for machines. And Amazon has decided to make a market in it.
