Chess Robot Grabs And Breaks Finger Of Seven-Year-Old Opponent

One of the 30 best chess players in the โ€œUnder 9โ€ category in Russia had his finger broken by a robot he was playing against, according to Russian media reports. The seven-year-old boy reportedly tried to make a move too quickly after the robot had made its own move, and the robot grabbed the boyโ€™s finger and broke it.

Sergey Lazarev, president of the Moscow Chess Federation, says the boy โ€œmade a move, and after that, we need to give time for the robot to answer, but the boy hurried, and the robot grabbed him.โ€ A representative of the company that makes the robot says the incident was โ€œa coincidenceโ€ and the robot is โ€œabsolutely safe.โ€
