My conclusion: circa. 2850

This is a good conclusion. But let's take the 2820 bots and Magnus (2882) and average those. It is about 2850. I like how you actually listed other bot elos and compared it directly

I've drawn the bot and from what I've heard its around 2800 to 3000 elo as it has beat many other top bots on the website.

In reality, the Mechanical Turk was an elaborate magic trick. It was equipped with a system of mirrors, spring mechanisms and hidden levers, controlled by a human operator hidden inside the machine.

It was created in 1769 by Austrian engineer Wolfgang von Kempelen, and quickly became a sensation across Europe.

But wanting to lift the veil on his real abilities somewhat distorts the magic of the legend.

So, we might as well keep the mystery like a sleight of hand and play against it by opening our eyes in wonder at so much talent.

Let us know how to keep our childhood dreams intact.

Let's not be afraid to be happy.

Have a nice day, everyone.
