“The boy is all right. They put a plaster cast on the finger to heal faster. Yes, there are certain safety rules and the child, apparently, violated them and, when he made a move, did not notice that he had to wait. This is an extremely rare case, the first I can recall,” he said.

Christopher is among Moscow’s 30 strongest chess players up to 9 years old, according to state-TV Baza.

As per the Russian media, “The robot did not like such a hurry – he grabbed the boy’s index finger and squeezed it hard,” they added, “The people around rushed to help and pulled out the finger of the young player, but the fracture could not be avoided.”

The chess robot reportedly beat Christopher three times in a row.
