18世纪的“AI” - 土耳其行棋傀儡

@unvergebeneid  
Can we for a second admire the fact that the mechanism could grab a chess piece and place it accurately on the board, with very little force required? That's astonishing for the time!  
咱们能不能花点时间感叹下——这机器能用极小力度精准抓取棋子并摆放到棋盘上？这在当时简直惊为天人！  

@chess  
The Turk was a tease for the future, for when machine eventually would pass man.  
"土耳其行棋傀儡"其实是未来的预告，预示机器终将超越人类的时代。  

@JawRippa  
Honestly, it is impressive how a chess master would be able to reliably win in such uncomfortable conditions.  
说实话，棋手能在如此恶劣环境下稳定获胜，实在令人惊叹。  

@Amonimus  
What I find more impressive is that several chessmasters have agreed to work under such uncomfortable conditions, won anyway, and took no credit.  
更让我震惊的是，那么多棋坛高手甘愿在恶劣环境中工作，赢了比赛却不留姓名。  

@TheUltimegaMan  
You know it’s a good trick when after it’s explained to you, you’re still impressed.  
真正的精妙魔术就是——即便知道了机关原理，你依然会被震撼到。  

@TheAmazingCowpig  
I don't know what's more impressive, the actual mechanical operation of the whole thing, or the operators/chessmasters inside managing to do their part and never being discovered while also operating the thing correctly.  
这机器本身的结构设计，和内部棋手既要正确操作又要完美藏匿，哪个更厉害？我选不出来。  

@Chill-Ice  
But that means technically that chess master was in like the top 1% for chess. Crazy  
按这标准，藏在机器里的棋手得是顶尖1%中的顶级高手，这也太夸张了。  

@adamb89  
Imagine being one of those two kids who climbed on the roof, actually DID see someone climb out, you actually DID know how the trick worked...and until the end of your days nobody believes you.  
想象一下：你就是那两个爬上屋顶、亲眼看到有人钻出来的小孩，明明知道机关却始终无人相信。  

@michelebastianini3986  
Astonishing how Wikipedia and many book I've read weren't crystal clear on the mechanism of The Turk, yet your video unveiled the mystery, amazing  
维基百科和我读过的书都没说清"土耳其行棋傀儡"的机制，结果你的视频揭开了谜底，太棒了。  

@Oofof  
imagine being too good at chess that you got to get locked up inside a box just to challenge famous & smart opponents  
当棋艺太高超时，代价就是被锁进箱子里挑战各路名人高手——这画面太魔幻了。  

@shuban863  
Despite the fact that it was obvious that it was not a real chess machine, the clever tricks to convince the audience that it was, was really the key to this amazing invention  
虽然明眼人都知道这不是真机器，但那些让观众信以为真的精巧设计，才是这项发明的精髓。  

@mh4392  
What amazes me is that none of the thousands of people that saw the machine demanded both doors to be open at the same time.  
最让我惊讶的是，成千上万的观众竟没人要求同时打开两扇门检查。  

@armaan7381  
People using bots to play good chess while this robot using people for it  
现在人用AI下棋，而这个"机器人"却反向操作——用真人下棋。  

@boboboz9541  
im still convinced there's a man hiding inside the ATM machine at all times.  
我现在还坚信ATM机里藏着个随时待命的工作人员。  

@mitchgrove4086  
As disappointed as I am to find that nobody hundreds of years ago worked out the clockwork to nearly guarantee a win in chess, with a humanoid robot involved, I sure am impressed at the tenacity of the robot's creator in finding so many well-practiced chess-matters to crawl in that box and operate it in such a complex manor!  
虽然有点失望——几百年前没人发明确保赢棋的发条机器人，但发明者能找到那么多训练有素的棋手蜷缩在箱内操作，这种毅力真让人佩服。  

@rasultalishinskiy5578  
I gotta admit, even thou I i was sure it's not a pure machine, its mechanical abilities are still very astonishing.  
虽然早猜到不是纯机械，但它的机械构造依然令人惊叹。  

@notoriousbigmoai1125  
It's still impressive that the hidden person managed to beat all the good chess players while sitting in a very cramped and stuffy position. This wouldn't be possible without a highly skilled and patient individual.  
藏在憋屈箱子里还能击败顶尖棋手，这得需要多么高超的棋艺和惊人的耐心啊。  

@bosco7837  
The Turk came right before what is universally considered the Golden Age of magic in Europe. It cleverly uses a lot of principles of modern stage magic. The way the trunk appears to be empty but isn't, for example. No wonder it caused such a stir at the time, it's a great illusion.  
"土耳其行棋傀儡"诞生于欧洲魔术黄金时代前夕，运用了现代舞台魔术原理——比如看似空箱实则藏人，难怪当时引起轰动。  

@999benhonda  
Dang...the board only showed the chess master when pieces had been moved, the chess master had to be able to track which pieces were moved...with only candle light in a cramped space.  
天...棋盘只在棋子移动时显示棋局，棋手得在狭窄空间里仅靠烛光追踪每个棋子的动向。  

@vampirecount3880  
What I find most incredible about Turk's concept is that someone, in the 1700s, already thought about the possibility of creating a machine capable of thinking (playing chess). Even if it was an illusion, it amazes me that people so long ago were already able to consider the concept of AI, and already knew that one day, machines would do anything.  
最让我震撼的是，18世纪就有人构思会下棋的机器。即便是骗局，也说明当时人们已在设想AI概念，预言机器终将无所不能。  

@KelvinDethoften  
"We're losing to a mechanical chess robot, what do we do?"  
"There's nothing we can do."  
"我们被机械棋手打败了，怎么办？"  
"躺平吧，没救了。"  

@TheeRandomGuy  
My first instinct was a series of mirrors similar to the Peppers Ghost illusion hiding a person. Such a smart workaround with the candlelight through the machine maneuver  
我第一反应是用了类似"佩珀尔幻影"的镜面装置藏人，没想到用烛光配合机械结构，这招真聪明。  

@FallSkyX  
It's astonishing how none of the chess masters inside the Turk ever made a mistake while switching positions in such a confined space. Although it was evident that something was definitely up, I initially thought it might be remotely controlled by a chess master using some ingenious mechanism. However, upon realizing the Turk was from the 1700s and 1800s, and that the first instance of wireless communication wasn't until 1849, it made sense that wasn't the case.  
藏在箱内的棋手在狭小空间换位时居然零失误，这很惊人。虽然早觉得有猫腻，但原以为是远程操控，后来想起无线通信1849年才出现，才明白不可能。  

@cccyanide3034  
As other commenters pointed out, it was kind of expected that the machine was human-operated. There simply was no way to store this amount of information on physical storage at the time.  
就像其他评论说的，当时科技水平下，纯机械存储海量棋局数据根本不现实，人工操作是必然。  

@viccypress6292  
Surely someone yelled "now leave the damn box open! And play"  
Awesome breakdown! Such genius minds.  
肯定有人喊过"把该死的箱子开着下棋！"，这解析太棒了！天才设计！  

@cinnamonflavord  
Even though it's not a robot, it's still impressive for the person inside the box to still beat all of those famous people  
虽不是真机器人，但箱中人能击败那么多名人已足够惊人。  

@Tkonk  
I definitely would have thought it was controlled by a person but I never would have figured out how they were folded into it. Great visualizations as always.  
我早猜到是真人操控，但完全想不出怎么塞进去的。演示动画一如既往地棒。  

@Demphure  
As soon as it specified that the showman would open one door, close it, and then open the next, I knew there was someone inside that just moved around  
当听说表演者轮流开关两扇门时，我立刻明白里面藏着会移动的人。  

@elhafydymohamed4078  
To be able to play well even from inside a box with inconvenient controls is amazing  
在操控不便的箱子里还能下得一手好棋，这水平绝了。  

@UmVtCg  
Finally, an animated video which shows the inner working of this magicians chess trick. But where did the smoke and fumes of the candle inside go?  
终于有动画展示这个魔术棋局的内部构造了！但箱内蜡烛的烟雾怎么处理的？  

@Domus_Maximus  
I'm sure I'd seen another video on The Turk previously, but this was really done and very very well presented. Great video!  
虽然以前看过相关视频，但这个讲解得既专业又清晰，太棒了！  

@Paulitica  
Its incredible that 300 years ago we thought a machine was a fake just because it was impossible to beat human intelligence, nowadays we would be surprised of humans beating machines...  
三百年前因机器无法战胜人类而认定是骗局，现在人类赢机器反而成了新闻，真魔幻。  

@RCmies  
There's no way that it didnt drop pieces or place them incorrectly sometimes. But if it didn't then this is an amazing design.  
棋子肯定有掉错位置的时候吧？要是真没出过错，这设计就太神了。  

@IlayKimhi  
I thought that the player opposing the machine is cooperating with the machine operator and just playing a set of known moves agreed upon before the show. Then, the operator somehow codes a sequence of moves into the Turk's arm with a complicated mechanism. That would probably be too complicated tho :D  
我还以为是挑战者与操作者串通，提前记好棋步，再用复杂机械编码到机械臂上——不过这样确实太复杂了。  

@HritwRaje  
How long would a session usually last? Considering that the hidden chess masters were human and would require (probably multiple) candles to light up the insides, and also stay put until the Turk was in a safehouse before crawling out for a restroom break, is astonishing.  
一局要下多久？考虑到棋手需要多支蜡烛照明，还要憋到机器移至安全屋才能上厕所，这耐力绝了。  

@matiszkielet  
The magnet mechanism is so clever!  
磁铁机关设计得太巧妙了！  

@Woowosh  
Poor the brilliant chest master inside the machine, which maybe would never get credit in the history  
藏在机器里的天才棋手太惨了，可能永远得不到历史认可。  

@НикитаВоронин-х8ю  
Imagine being a man in the machine and trying not to sneeze  
想象下箱子里的人拼命憋喷嚏的样子  

@guppygb6078  
Audience member - "Open both doors at the same time"  
观众："两扇门同时打开看看"  

@SocksAndSalami  
The technology behind this was INSANELY ahead of its time  
这项技术在当时简直是跨时代的存在  

@TechnoThornYT  
I can’t believe such intricate mechanisms existed back then! I had a suspicion that there was an operator inside the Turk, but didn’t know how it would fit in the box.  
难以置信当时就有这么精密的机械！虽然怀疑有操作者，但完全想不出怎么塞进箱子。  

@petervarga2399  
Amazing animations and a fascinating story. It is very impressive how everyone involved kept the secret.  
精彩的动画和引人入胜的故事，所有参与者能守住秘密这点更让人佩服。

@shaeisgae8952  
I appreciate the thumbnail having the answer to the explanation as well as having timestamps to skip ahead, im interested enough to watch the whole thing though this is rlly interesting  
感谢视频封面既标注了答案又有进度条提示，虽然我对整个内容很感兴趣会全部看完，但这确实设计得很贴心。

@robertbrandywine  
I'm surprised no magicians looked at it and didn't figure it out immediately. The first suspicious thing was that both sides weren't opened at the same time.  
魔术师们居然没有立刻看穿机关，这让我很惊讶。最可疑的破绽就是他们从不同时打开机器两侧的门。

@dead_space.  
amazing! I always get invested into these videos after a long day it’s always refreshing to see how stuff from yesterday is explained and shown today.  
太棒了！结束漫长工作后看这种揭秘视频特别解压，用现代技术重现历史谜团的感觉真奇妙。

@Giorgio_2466  
Although I already knew the story, you kept me engaged all throughout the video with your amazing storytelling!  
虽然早知道这个故事，但你充满感染力的叙事还是让我全程沉浸其中。

@jonahwoodward503  
I doubted that it was mechanical, but then a little disappointed that the answer was kind of expected. I wondered if it would be some sort of mechanical computer with pressure plates on the board, but the dangling magnets were a neat idea.  
我曾怀疑是纯机械结构，但真相有点平淡反而让人失望。原本期待棋盘下有压力板组成的机械计算机，不过吊挂磁铁的设计确实巧妙。

@keithknight7861  
Imagine being in that box and beating a king and hearing throw this whole fucking box in the fire  
想象一下：你躲在箱子里赢了个国王，结果听见对方怒吼"把这该死的箱子扔进火里！"

@bobpourri9647  
Poster....please read Poe's essay on the machine. He DID NOT simply believe the dummy body held an individual: His writing goes to great length to explain how the cabinet was occupied by the manipulator, and by a series of bends & twists deceived the inspecting public during a showing, much as shown at 6:54 .  
建议UP主读读爱伦坡的论文。他并非简单认为人藏在假人里，而是详细描述了操作者如何利用箱体弯折结构骗过观众，和视频6:54展示的机关如出一辙。

@RotoruaBoysHighSchool  
Awesome video man! This was very well explained and detailed. Honestly, I wasn't in any shape or form sure how he could see underneath the obxts. But because of this video, You have helped out a ton with the matter. As said before, awesome video. I am not even sure how you only got less than a million subscribers.  
超棒的视频！讲解清晰细节到位，之前完全想不通棋手怎么观察棋盘，现在豁然开朗。说真的，这么优质的频道订阅量不过百万没天理。

@drewhailstones4106  
This is quite fascinating, i have watched multiple videos on the Chess player Turk but i love how you explain it, simply and without fluff, but you get the point across. Also great voice. PS. Could you in the future do a video on Hugo Cabret's Automaton? (if you can)  
虽然看过很多土耳其行棋傀儡的视频，但你的解说干净利落直击重点，声音也超有魅力。顺便求做雨果的《造梦的雨果》里那个机械人解析！

@augustinf  
How on earth has no chess player ever coughed, sneezed, grunted or made any slight noise in 70 years? They were a few centimeters below their opponents. There is no way no one did not feel that human presence  
整整70年藏在箱子里的大活人怎么可能从不打喷嚏咳嗽？对手就坐在几厘米上方，绝对能察觉到动静啊！

@jeffyoung60  
As a young teenager I recall reading the story about the robot Turk chess player in a book that I think was, Ripley's Believe It or Not. The book clearly stated a chess master had been hired to secrete himself inside the large base of the ersatz autonomotan. The one difference I seem to recall is that the book claimed the human chess master was able to put his hand and arm into the moving right arm of the robot and thus move it about as if it were a real mechanical arm.  
我年轻时在《信不信由你》里读到过这个故事。书里说棋手藏在底座，还能把手伸进机械臂操控——这和视频里的磁铁操控方式不太一样。

@KaranKumar-do9wb  
This story deserves a Movie man .  
这传奇故事绝对够拍部电影了！

@mattiaseven5869  
This is one of the most interesting videos I see in the last 5 years, i am not joking.  
认真说，这是我五年来看过最有趣的视频。

@dotWcom  
I thought that a person was there under the skin of the turk  
我一直以为操作者藏在那个土耳其人偶的躯干里。

@kinghenry100  
And the entire plan relied on that one candle…  
整个机关居然全靠一根蜡烛照明？

@maxrabiega592  
Amazing engineering this is. Would’ve been really cool if this was around.  
精妙的工程设计！真希望这个装置能保存至今。

@Theoneintheone  
Amazing content, I was hooked onto the details outflow right from the start till the end. Really nice!.  
超棒的内容！从开场到结尾每个细节都引人入胜。

@liemaze  
Awesome video! Loved how you broke down the robot chess player scam. The historical context and your storytelling made it super interesting and easy to follow. Great job with the research too.  
超赞！拆解骗局的过程配合历史背景变得超有趣，考证也很严谨。

@halitosmanyurdakul6266  
Imagine that you are a chess master, but no one knows you because you are inside a machine.  
想象你是个绝世棋手，却因藏在机器里而无人知晓。

@Lofi_Boy0107  
I really like Science behind mechanical things especially those things invented in past history like Turk, and this is one of your best video!  
超爱这种机械原理揭秘，尤其是历史发明！这期是你最佳作品之一。

@lolegaia  
The operator be like the smartest chessmater ever existed.  
藏在里面的棋手堪称史上最强工具人。

@Youtubedictatorship  
Back in the day when the news outlets were actually worried about journalistic integrity.  
那个年代的媒体居然还关心新闻真实性。

@Humtog  
Excellent video! Remarkable storytelling and animation as always. I feel that since it's secrets were revealed years after it was destroyed in the fire, it might be inaccurate or simplistic. For example, precise gripping of the pieces and moving it to the new location would have required something more complicated than what was shown. The precision required to move without touching any other piece is the hard part. Secondly, I imagine there would be more levers to move the head and the other hand. Thirdly, that candle presented a risk of light leakage through any of the panels or tiny holes. And if it is well sealed, it requires oxygen to burn. So, some venting is required. Overall impressed it was able to keep the secret despite having so many people involved over the 90 years. Suggestion - Titling this as a "The Robot Chess Player Scam" is doing a dis-service to this masterpiece. Magic is not scam. Also, revealing the secret in the thumbnail showing a man inside is also not a good idea. A better title would be "Chess playing Robot of 1700s" And thumbnail showing the robot with words "Beats champions"  
精彩视频！但我觉得机关可能比展示的更复杂，例如精准移动棋子需要更精密的设计，烛光也可能从缝隙泄露。最震撼的是近百年来这么多人保守秘密。建议标题别用"骗局"这个词，毕竟魔术不是诈骗，封面剧透也欠妥，改成"18世纪象棋机器人"更好。

@raggedclawstarcraft6562  
Damn I were hoping it was a mechanical magnet-based analogue computer.  
淦！我还以为是用磁铁做的模拟计算机呢。

@Handles_AreStupid  
If you knew how the machine worked, you could hypothetically defeat the chess master by being indecisive and picking and dropping random pieces. You'd cause enough confusion that he would lose track of which piece is where if you did it correctly.  
知道机关原理的话，可以通过反复拿起放下棋子扰乱棋手记忆，这样就能打败他。

@tal_laal  
Nice video! I legit thought the guy who made the machine was using magnets to move the chess pieces around somehow standing away from the machine taking inspiration from the performance in the beginning about magnets.  
好视频！开场磁铁表演让我误以为发明者是远程用磁铁操控棋子。

@mozartpiano23  
Could you imagine being those kids and no one believes you saw someone climb out  
那些目击操作者爬出来的孩子，得多郁闷没人相信他们啊！

@chtey1234  
Napoleon Bonaparte was chess master!?!?!?!?!?! Wow a emperor, master of artillery, commander and chess master nice  
拿破仑居然是象棋大师？！又是皇帝又是炮兵专家还懂下棋，这人设太完美了吧！

@Daniel4646  
A trick which baffled the world for nearly a century. The longest-lasting show illusion ever.  
骗了全世界近一个世纪的魔术，史上最持久的舞台幻术。

@MikeLikesGamesalot  
Robots use humans!  
humans use robots!  
1769年：机器人使用人类（作为核心）！  
2024年：人类使用机器人！  

@techny3000  
Honestly I would've thought it had something to do with the floor below the turk  
some doors and a sliding chair sounds far more simple lol  
说实话，我之前一直以为玄机在土耳其棋手下方的地板里，结果只是几扇门加一把滑动椅子？这也太简单了吧。  

@leventkucukaslan4238  
Even if the Ottomans could not get into Vienna,  
They could conquer the entire Empire of Chess…  
就算奥斯曼帝国当年没能攻下维也纳，至少他们征服了整个国际象棋帝国啊……  

@everyonee.  
A man putting a lot of effort inside the machine and still manage to beat almost all of his opponents is much more impressive than the machine itself.  
比起机器本身，更让我佩服的是里面的人——他缩在狭小空间里费尽心思，居然还能打败几乎所有对手。  

@TheBigdan217  
This is a lie, it was real magic  
骗人！这分明是真正的魔法。  

@Essela_5056  
The fact that the turk isnt even a turk  
最搞笑的是，所谓的“土耳其棋手”压根不是土耳其人。  

@Larry  
I'm surprised the operator didn't use a periscope like mirror system to see the chessboard above.  
我挺惊讶操作员居然没用潜望镜式的镜子系统来观察上方棋盘。  

@anmoljoshi5705  
The story of the Turk is such a captivating blend of history, engineering, and illusion. I can't believe it fooled people for almost 90 years! Great video!  
土耳其棋手的故事完美融合了历史、工程学和骗术，太抓人了！难以想象它居然能忽悠世人近90年！视频做得很棒！  

@kelf114  
Leaving a lit candle inside after closing the doors seems like it would be a dead giveaway.  
关门后还留根点燃的蜡烛在里面，这操作难道不会露馅吗？  

@milesabsher6046  
I thought the person would be in the larger more empty compartment but the way they actually did it was very interesting! Great part of history right there.  
我以为人会藏在更宽敞的隔层里，没想到实际设计更有趣！这段历史真了不起。  

@tuckervining5673  
At first i thought there was someone in there but then i was stumped when he did the demonstration of how nobody is in there. also mad respect for the operator that must've been uncomfortable  
起初我也觉得里面藏了人，但看到展示空箱子的环节就懵了。不过还是佩服操作员——缩在里面肯定难受死了。  

@pbdropshot5369  
And every chess master operator never let out a single fart during the game, well played.  
所有棋手操作员居然都能忍住不在对局中放屁，这定力我给满分。  

@bhaaratsharma6023  
Even if there was a man sitting beneath the table top, I'm still very impressed at the design of this contraption  
就算桌下真藏了人，这机器的设计本身也够让我震惊了。  

@scott4868  
The secret seems like it’s even more unbelievable than any of the other theories. It’s just so thorough and seemingly over engineered. Like when you get to the end of a mystery tv show and they just give an explanation no one would ever guess.  
说实话，真正的秘密比任何阴谋论都离谱——设计得过于精密，简直像悬疑剧结局硬塞个没人猜得到的解释。  

@theseageek  
The most impressive thing about this is the accuracy and dexterity of the mechanism that allowed for picking up the chess pieces and placing them on the board accurately. This reminds me of those robotic arms the surgeons today use for very delicate operation.  
最牛的是机械装置抓取棋子的精准度，简直像现代外科手术用的机械臂一样灵活。  

@gabrielho1874  
Even as a machine that is not self-moving, the mechanism for moving and guiding the pieced without knocking the others is really impressive  
尽管不是全自动机器，但能在移动棋子时不碰倒其他棋子，这机制已经够惊艳了。  

@Random_0012  
Wow, I never knew the Mechanical Turk was this complex! It's amazing how they kept the secret for so long. Great video!  
哇，我之前完全不知道机械土耳其棋手这么复杂！他们居然能保密这么久，太厉害了！视频超棒！  

@coffeebot3000  
I'd heard about this many times was always interested how it works. Your video made it so clear. Very cool. Thank you.  
以前听过很多次这玩意儿，但一直好奇原理。你的视频讲得超清楚，太酷了！感谢！  

@kingbrucelee4977  
I wasn't sure how the chessmaster knew all this moves that opponents did. I thought there's an additional chessboard upside down that in some unexplainable way behave like that chessboard from the top, but it turned out there are wires holding magnets. Fascinating  
我之前想不通棋手怎么知道对手的每一步，还以为是上下颠倒的镜像棋盘，结果居然是磁铁加导线？太有意思了！  

@KuyaArbee  
damn impressive! that the CHESS MASTER couldn't cough... sneeze etc  
真绝了！那些棋手居然能忍住不咳嗽、不打喷嚏……  

@QuestanableClue  
Personally I also thought that it was operated by a human, but I didn't think about the fake  and shifting floors. For a technology this old, this is beyond crazy i am really impressed by the machinery and the actually person playing the chess hidden inside the contraption. Great Video!  
我也猜过里面是人，但没想到还有假地板和滑动结构。以当年的技术水平，这设计简直疯狂！机器和藏身其中的棋手都让我佩服得五体投地！视频超棒！  

@thatoneguyeveryoneknows3440  
Has anyone ever burned a candle in a small space? That part doesn't make sence?  
谁试过在小空间里点蜡烛啊？这部分设定不合理吧？  

@YtubeUserr  
Imagine the Chess Master inside sneezed or farted? He had real control to pull this off without being discovered.  
要是里面的棋手突然打个喷嚏或放屁怎么办？这自制力简直非人类。  

@user-gd7wr4cx4l  
It's always a secret compartment, but I never would have guessed how the chess pieces were moved. So so cool  
虽然知道肯定有暗格，但棋子移动的方式完全出乎意料！酷毙了！  

@U-V-F  
Imagine if the chess master inside had to pee so bad but had to hold it while the player took his time thinking of the next moves.  
想象一下，棋手憋尿憋到爆炸，对手却还在慢悠悠思考下一步……  

@imjody  
That's wild. This guy basically playing 4D chess against people just playing normal chess. So much more stress and skill necessary to be able to run this machine, keep track of where every piece was picked up from and placed, and still win.  
太狂了！这家伙简直是在用多线程思考对战普通玩家，不仅要操控机器，还得记住每颗棋子的移动轨迹，压力山大还能赢，实力逆天！  

@eletere-jx1vg  
These animations are great! I have no idea how someone crafted such a high technologically advanced obxt at this time.  
动画做得超棒！完全想不通当时的人是怎么造出这种高科技玩意儿的。  

@NoriMori1992  
The precision engineering this thing would have required in order to work so well is so insane that I'm almost more impressed by that than if it were an actual robot.  
这机器需要的精密工程学简直变态，我甚至觉得比真机器人还震撼。  

@GWMJRSmith  
You would still have to remember what piece was where. Knowing what piece was where after ten moves is within itself insane. And, much more important than just knowing a piece is on the spot.  
不仅要记住棋子位置，还得清楚走了十步后每个格子上是什么棋子，这难度比单纯知道位置高多了。  

@monsoon1234567890  
Literally every single genius back in the day - "That big empty space in the middle must surely be for storage."  
当年的天才们看到中间空荡荡的区域，肯定都心想：“这地方绝对用来储物！”  

@mevsol2447  
All that intellect and nobody thought to open both doors at once.  
一群聪明人居然没一个想到同时打开两扇门？  

@sickboy9902  
In a way, the existence of this invention coupled with the honesty and skill of the operators and the longevity of the secret itself is actually more impressive than an computer's ability to play chess  
某种意义上，这发明本身、操作员的诚信与技术，加上秘密能守这么久，比电脑下棋的能力更让人震撼。  

@NGUYENHOANGLONG-2012  
WOW, the brilliancy of the machine is INSANE must've taken the inventor a long time to think of a design like that!  
哇！这机器的设计绝了！发明者肯定绞尽脑汁才想出这种结构！  

@Selfg12  
Honestly though... It's even MORE impressive for him to win games like that. He has to memorize which piece is where, as the magnet doesn't tell him if it's a knight, pawn, bishop, or queen on that square.  
说真的，这样还能赢棋更厉害！毕竟磁铁不会告诉他格子上是骑士、兵、主教还是皇后。  

@daverist1234  
They say ai would replace us, but WE replaced the ai with us.  
都说AI会取代人类，结果我们先用人类取代了AI。  

@jayplash24  
the chess masters inside the machine were  beasts, being in such a small compartment, replicating their opponents moves perfectly (one screw up of replicating the move and its literally over for the chess master), and keeping the secret hidden too  
机器里的棋手都是狠人！缩在小隔间里完美复刻对手每一步（错一步就完蛋），还能守住秘密！
