@the.turkish4: In 1809 at Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, Napoleon played chess against “The Turk,” a famous mechanical robot that seemed to think for itself. It was actually a strong chess player hidden inside the box. Napoleon lost every game… even after trying to cheat😭 #funfact #napoleon #napoleonbonaparte #chess #foryou

markchristian9155 :

This is actually true. Napoleon sucked at chess. He was very impatient, and constantly tried to cheat against the Turk. His subordinates would even let him win to keep in a good mood. So while he loved the game, he was awful at it
