El Turco
It was not until the creation of Deep Blue, IBM's attempt at a computer that could challenge the world's best players, that interest increased again, and two more books were published: Gerald M. Levitt's "The Turk, Chess Automaton" (2000), and Tom Standage's "The Turk: The Life and Times of the Famous Eighteenth-Century Chess-Playing Machine", published in 2002. The Turk was used as a personification of Deep Blue in the 2003 documentary "".
