Greetings, dear chess fans and experts! This is FIDE Master Max Omariev with you. And today we will talk about the great emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, specifically about his attitude to chess. He was crazy about chess and played madly. Today we are going to talk a little bit about his involvement in chess and analyze several games. Ever since his youth, Bonaparte began to show a love for chess, even before he became emperor. He regularly visited the Café de la Régence in Paris, and had his own favourite table. Napoleon played chess rather mediocrely, usually losing and getting wildly mad about it, which of course affected his future too.
Napoleon liked checkers more than chess. He often used to have with him a checkerboard rather than a chessboard, but nevertheless, chess played a big role in his life. We will start with the game against the Turk, also known as the Mechanical Turk. So, friends, let's see how it was.
