A chess-playing robot, apparently failing to anticipate the quick responses of a seven-year-old boy, grabbed and broke his opponent's finger during a match at the Moscow Open. The boy’s finger was pinched by the robotic arm for several seconds before a woman and three men rushed in, eventually freeing him and ushering him away. Sergey Lazarev, president of the Moscow Chess Federation, said the machine had played many previous exhibitions without upset but added that the robot’s suppliers 'are going to have to think again'.

I’m assuming the robot thought his finger was a chess piece and was grabbing it.

thats exactly what Big Robot would have people think

They are learning how to exploit our weaknesses. This was just a test run.

Let me know when one flips over the chess board or swipes all the pieces off of it before storming out of the room. Then I’ll be concerned.

You can’t do that during chess matches?
