The chess robot broke the seven -year -old finger

The situation occurred at the opening, when the robot held a black army, using the statue at G4 to catch the white at D1. At the stage of the robot, it will remove the white after the chessboard, then transfer the statue from G4 to D1. But when the robot left the back and had not finished the flag, the seven -year -old boy named Christopher took the car from A1 to D1 to catch the army. At the same time, the new robot held a statue from G4 to D1. This machine put down D1 and pressed on Christopher's finger.

It seems to try to complete the flag water, the robot pressed the boy's finger on the chessboard. Christopher could not withdraw his own hands, and had to ask for help from the surrounding adults. It took about 15 seconds, the new hand of the younger player was removed.

The representative of the Russian chess federation Sergey Smagin said Christopher was fine. The boy had a bone stretch and was bundled to recover faster. As a result, the seven -year -old player can continue to play at the tournament on the next day. But Russian media said the boy's family was considering suing.

Meanwhile, Smagin thinks that the fault belongs to Christopher. "This match has specific safety rules, and it seems that the boy has violated it," he said. "The boy doesn't know to wait for his turn. This is very rare, I witnessed it for the first time."

Baza newspaper (Russia) said that this robot played three games that day, before playing Christopher. They question whether the machine should stop working after this incident. But Smagin thought differently, when he said: "This robot is very special, has many events and is absolutely safe. This incident is only coincidence. He should have warned. Very talented, but perhaps it needs to set a system to ensure safety. "

This robot was led by Konstantin Kosteniuk - the father of the 12th chess queen of history Alexandra Kosteniuk - manufactured. It has played the flag for the past 15 years and has not encountered the same case.

But the former chess Vladimir Kramnik almost encountered such a problem when hitting with the robot in 2010. He wanted to joke when raising his hand in front of the robot for the purpose of proposing harmony. The viewers around laughed, but the robot continued to play and almost poked Kramnik's hand.

Responding to the incident with the boy Christopher, the former chess king Garry Kasparov said: "I have tried to warn this risk."
