Chess-Playing Robot Breaks 7-year old Opponent's Finger

Posted by Craig Reaser on July 27, 2022 - 6:34pm


A robot that plays chess broke its 7-year old opponent's finger during a tournament in Russia last week. A tournament official said the boy tried to make his next move too quickly, so the robot "grabbed him."  Video of the moment went viral on Twitter, showing the young boy struggling against the robot as spectators rush in to help. The incident occurred during the Moscow Chess Open, an International chess forum.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         "The child played the very next day, finished the tournament in a cast, and the volunteers helped to record the moves. The parents want to contact the prosecutor's office. And the robot operators, apparently, will have to think about strengthening protection so that this situation does not happen again," the agency interlocutor added-Sergei Smagin, Vice President of the Moscow Chess Federation, told the Russian state-run outlet RIA Novosti that the child broke certain safety rules.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       "This robot has been playing for a long time, about 15 years. Nothing serious happened, the boy then went to the award ceremony, signed documents. Everything is fine with the boy. Yes, there are certain safety rules. When he made a move, he didn't notice that he had to wait. This is an extremely rare case, in my memory it's the first one," said Smagin. He went on to say "There are no plans to remove the robot from future tournaments. It may be necessary to install an additional protection system."
