GAMES

PLAYED BY THE

AUTOMATON CHESS PLAYER,

during its exhibition in London, in the Year 1820.

The Automaton Chess Player, which excited so much notice at the time of its exhibition, had public contests with most of the professed players of the day, in which it invariably gave the Pawn and move. Out of nearly three hundred games thus played in the early months of its exhibition, the Automaton lost only about six; "and," adds our authority, "without wishing to shock the admirers of Philidor, it may be asserted, that the Automaton Chess Player played Games which that great master might have equalled, but could not have excelled."

The Automaton played with the white men; and in the following games the White K. B. P. is to be removed from the board.
