Sergey Lazarev, president of the Moscow Chess Federation, tells Russia’s Tass news agency that the robot broke the child’s finger. “Of course this is bad,” said Lazarev. In addition, he claims that the machine has already played many matches without incident. According to Tass news agency, the boy was able to finish the last days of the tournament in plaster.
