Stockfish Challenges the Mechanical Turk!
We pair Stockfish up against the brand new Mechanical Turk bot... And force it to play the Borg (1. g5), which is objectively Black's worst possible first move!
Will the Turk be able to survive against Stockfish's dubious opening? Let me know what ELO you think the Mechanical Turk is :)
