NEW DELHI: In a bizarre incident of Man Vs Machine, a seven-year-old boy recently had his finger broken by a chess-playing robot during a tournament in Moscow, Russia.
The incident took place on July 19 at the Moscow Chess Open tournament.
The Vice President of the Chess Federation of Russia, Sergey Smagin, informed that the robot broke the boy's finger when the child went for a swift move without waiting for the necessary time for the machine to complete its action, as per Newsweek.
A video from inside the venue is now doing rounds on social media. It shows the child moving his piece before the robot finished moving its own. Moments later, the boy appears to have his finger trapped by the robot's hand. However, bystanders intervene shortly after and manage to free the child from the clutches of the robot arm.
