The Turk made its debut in 1770 di Istana Schönbrunn, about enam bulan setelah Pelletier's act. Kempelen addressed the court, presenting what he had built, and began the demonstration of the machine and its parts. With every showing of the Turk, Kempelen began by opening the doors and drawers of the cabinet, allowing members of the audience to inspect the machine. Following this display, Kempelen would announce that the machine was ready for a challenger.<ref>Standage, 24–17.</ref>
Kempelen would inform the player that the Turk would use the [[Rules of chess#Initial setup|white pieces]] dan have the first move. Between moves the Turk kept its left arm on the cushion. The Turk could nod twice if it threatened its opponent's [[ratu (catur)|ratu]], dan three times upon placing the [[raja (catur)|raja]] in check. If an opponent made an illegal move, the Turk would shake its head, move the piece back and make its own move, thus forcing a forfeit of its opponent's move.<ref>Levitt, 17.</ref> [[Louis Dutens]], aseorang travellerpenjelajah whoyang observed a showing of the Turk, attempted to trick the machine "by giving the QueenRatu the move of a Knight, but my mechanic opponent was not to be so imposed upon; he took up my Queen and replaced her in the square from which I had moved her."<ref name="Dutens">Louis Dutens, from a letter published in ''Le Mercure du France'' ([[Paris]], circa October 1770; later translated into English and reprinted in ''Gentleman's Magazine'' ([[London]]); translation taken from Levitt.</ref> Kempelen made it a point to traverse the room during the match, and invited observers to bring magnetsmagnet, irons, and [[lodestone]]s to the cabinet to test whether the machine was run by a form of magnetism or weights.
