The chess example in Turing's Mind paper is really about ambiguity

Abstract

In his paper `Computing machinery and intelligence',
Turing introduces a rather trivial chess problem as a
conversation piece in an example Turing test.
The example is about much more than computers playing chess:
it has a hidden message that is about resolving ambiguity
and knowledge representation,
probably inserted by Turing as an easter egg for us to find.

Keyphrases: ambiguity, chess problem, Turing Test
