The aim of this paper is to present the idea which served as a prototype and probably a test field for the idea of the well-known Turing test. This idea is the ‘paper machine’ (an algorithm) for playing chess and the proposal to test its abilities in confrontation with a human chess player. I will describe the details of this proposal and discuss it in the light of the Turing test setting.
