Well, first off it was made clearer in this episode that the turk wasn't
designed 100% to play chess, since he needed the russian guy to "teach it
how to play". And, it was a crash project done from memory, and its first
real trial, so I don't find failure in the match all that much of a
problem.

Face it - you're not going to see a chess match depicted in a 1 hour drama
in the manner it plays out in real life. It would take longer than they
want to spend. *
