Napoleon Bonaparte was a great, great man. He was a demon on the battlefield, a military prodigy, effortlessly obliterating his enemies. He was a demon on the chessboard, an unsung tactical master, trouncing those foolish enough to challenge him. He was a demon in the sack, mightily endowed, an immortal stallion. Right, uh, luckily, several of Napoleon's chess games were recorded for posterity.
