	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Chess Player
		Shot on location in Poland, France, and Switzerland, the story is an adventure drama of romance, patriotism, and rebellion that sweeps between the royal courts of Warsaw and St. Petersburg.
		Conniving a means to spirit Boleslas out of harm's way to continue the resistance, Kempelen constructs the Turk, a clockwork automaton that is unbeatable at chess.
		With Boleslas secreted inside, the Turk dazzles its way across Poland on a tour toward Germany — until Kempelen is summoned to bring the Turk to the Russian Imperial court, where it must play a command match against none other than The Empress of All the Russias, Catherine the Great.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Chess Player
		Boleslas Voronski (Pierre Blanchar) leads the rebellion, flanked by his foster sister, Sophie (Edith Jehanne), the feminine embodiment of the nation's spirit.
		While this part of the story culminates in an elaborate cavalry battle, Bernard's static camera and reliance on medium shots tends to undermine the dramatic scope.
		It is hard to go wrong with an idea like the Turk, and the script builds enough suspense in the second act to almost make up for the padded first act.

		He could not even plead his cause once more to the woman who certainly would not respond to another appeal, since she had found, in her outraged pride, the strength to be severe, when he was in danger of death.
		He experienced nothing but one great regret when the woman, so visibly bowed down by grief, was seated, and when he saw in her eyes the look of implacable coldness, even through the fever, before which he had recoiled the day before.
		What had she guessed in consequence of the encounter, the details of which she had asked of him with an emotion scarcely hidden in her eyes of a blue as clear, as transparent, as impenetrable at the same time, as the water of certain Alpine lakes at the foot of the glaciers.

		It is unlikely that Boleslas knew much at all about King David, but he was about to become like that biblical king in one more way: adding murder to adultery.
		Once Boleslas had wiped his sword clean, he marched back out of the church.
		Not because the pastor is often murdered, but because people, just like King Boleslas, would rather remain in sin than giving heed to the call of God’s word to repentance.

		The decapitation of the negotiating Squire by Boleslas is reported by Dalimil, and is recounted in the play by Boleslas himself as a means of characterisation.
		To maintain consistency, other, less well known names have been treated in the same way (Boleslas, Rostislas, Radslas), with occasional syllabic additions for reasons of metre.

	Titles of European hereditary rulers
		In 1000 Boleslas I "the Brave" became the first ruler of Poland who was crowned as King. Nevertheless, the title of King of Poland did not become hereditary; from the end of the 11th century to 1295 no Polish ruler bore the title of King.
		In the 12th century, Poland was divided among the sons of Duke Boleslas III.
		This division led to the creations of several Polish sub-states (Silesia, Greater Poland, Mazovia, Lesser Poland, Kujavia, etc) ruled by various branches of the House of Piast who formally recognized the seniority of the Dukes of Crakow.

		With the zeal of Christian youth, he tried to convert Hungary and Bohemia, but the pastoral and political difficulties were such that in 990 he withdrew in desperation to Rome and there became a Benedictine at SS.
