| Jan-25-04 | | Benjamin Lau: clendenon, lol, I enjoy your sense of humor both on this page and many others. |
|
| Jan-25-04 | | Catfriend: Excellent jokes, I'm even ready to let you join my underground-operations-squad! |

| Jan-25-04 | | technical draw: Now, Now, Mirlony you got whooped good by clendenon, don't be trying to change what you said after the fact. |

| Jul-14-04 | | luc_da: <since the understanding was that the figure would nod three times if such a thing were to happen, and when Napoleon persisted in making the wrong moves again and again, the Automaton finally swept all the pieces to the floor, and the game was over.> I have read a similar story with Catherine II of Russia VS the Turk instead of Napoleon... |

| Sep-14-04 | | Knight13: I can't believe napoleon played the Scholar's Mate. Everyone knows it won't work lol. |

I believe the scholars mate is:
<1.f3 e5 2.g4 Qh4#>
Looks to me like the Turk was much more aware of development then Napolean was here. 2.Qf3, 5.a3, 7.Qd3, all bad moves. The Rurk looks much better. |
|
| Sep-14-04 | | Knight13: <Giancarlo> It's not that. It's 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nc6 3. Qh4 Nf6 4. Qxf7# mate. It dosen't have to be like it. |
|
| Sep-14-04 | | Giancarlo: Yes, it can be like that as well <knight13>. I guess it's really any obivous mate in the opening where the other side doesn't defend it because he/she moves to fast. |
|
| Dec-22-04 | | DanielBryant: No, you're thinking of Fool's Mate. |
|
| Dec-22-04 | | SnoopDogg: <I can't believe napoleon played the Scholar's Mate> It's actually called Napoleon's Opening logically enough. I'm not kidding either. <well well well Napoleon wasnt a good player i bet if hitler was??> This could be a fake but I saw it on some crazy German website and saved it (not the website sadly).

15. Nxe4 Bxb2 16. Neg3 Bxa1 17. Rxa1 b4 18. Bh4 Kh8 19. Nxg7 1-0 It looks like this is a master level combination so I'm not so sure it wasn't a propaganda game used for Germany. But it was said to have been by Hitler. |

| Jan-28-05 | | MidnightDuffer: Some sources actually call
1. e4 e5 2. Qf3 Napoleon's opening;

| Feb-15-05 | | Whitehat1963: Napoleaon's opening? That's funny. Going straight for the throat on move four. It might work on the battlefield, but not on the chessboard! "Scholar's mate," as it's sometimes called, is so easily countered by Nf6 (as the Turk demonstrated), that I wonder why anyone tries it. |
|
| May-23-05 | | abcpokerboy: There are a few hundred games Hitler played as "Der Fuhrer". All of them were as white (of course). The score from each of those games is the same: 1)e4 - Black resigns |

Write up on The Turk.

Thats not sholars mate, it´s the "Fools mate" matey :D |
|
| Sep-12-05 | | blingice: Napoleon seems to have gotten owned. |
|
| Oct-09-05 | | elh: Looks like Napoleon was out of ideas after Scholar's Mate didn't work. Instructive play from the machine, centralizing pieces in strong points while making threats that prevent the General from developing. |
|
| Oct-19-05 | | BobbyBishop: I think I remember reading somewhere that after this game, Napoleon wasn't too happy and flung the pieces in a tantrum. |
|
| Nov-23-05 | | Chopin: Napoleon got killed in this match. He had to much pride to resign on move 14, after losing a queen; it only got worse for him. Someone pass me some Tylenol, this game is painful. The only other game that is more painful then this is Kasparov's loss to Deep blue in the final game. |
|
| Dec-22-05 | | Petrosian63: Wow! Napoleon really got demolished in this game.
Who is "The Turk"? |
|
| Dec-22-05 | | alicefujimori: <Petrosian63>Click on the link of "The Turk" above. It gives you a story of what "The Turk" was. |
|
| Jan-21-06 | | aerohacedor: Napoleon, true to his reputation, fought back even after it became clear that he was defeated. |
|
| Feb-09-06 | | Maatalkko: Napoleon's performance is the worst in any published game I've seen. This looks like an elementary school simul. I read a short book called "The Turk" that explains the history of the chess-playing automaton, and by the most reliable accounts this game was real. However, this proves that Napoleon's victories against Madame de Remusat and General Bertrand are fakes, because there is no way that this pitiful player could have seen those combinations. |
|
| Mar-12-06 | | Knight13: Here's the mistake Napoleon made: Bringing the queen out too early. Period. |
|
| Mar-12-06 | | Jim Bartle: "There are a few hundred games Hitler played as "Der Fuhrer". All of them were as white (of course). The score from each of those games is the same: 1)e4 - Black resigns" The fearsome Aryan opening. |
