My bad I was spelling Napoleon Napoleon.
napoleon was a bad chess player
Napoleon Bonaparte?
yes he had one or two okay games against his generals but maybe they feared beating him
Didn’t he play the iron Turk as well?

He was not so bad.
At the time he played, i guess he was higher rated than 1800 nowadays!
For example this game : black's play is rather weak, but white found some brillant moves, like f4 and Rf8 :
This calssical game against Mme de Remusat shows that Napoleon was a very good attacking player.
The opening was not so good, but the final attack is nicely done :
What is strange is that we find the same game color reversed...
In fact this game was played 2 years before the first I gave. I guess Mme de Remusat forgot it and played the moves she liked but Napoleon had a good memory or found again the moves.
