A seven-year-old boy’s finger was broken by a robot during a chess match. This video from Moscow, Russia is now viral on social media. The incident took place on the 19th of this month during a chess match. Seven-year-old Christopher is one of the 30 smartest chess players under the age of nine. He came to compete with the robot.
The reason for the problem was that the child tried to make the next move without taking time for the robot during the competition. The child’s finger was broken when the robot stopped it. The child attempted the next move before the robot might complete its move. This time the robot placed its hand over the child’s finger. The organizers intervened when the child was worried that he might not take his hand. According to the report, the child’s fingers were broken following falling between the hands of the robot. Officials say the reason the robot reacted was because it violated the rules of the competition. After the parents complained regarding the incident, a detailed investigation is underway.
