Original Title: TIL in 2022 a chess-playing robot broke the finger of its 7-year-old opponent after the boy didn’t give it enough time to respond & attempted to move again. The robot held his finger in place for 15 seconds before bystanders were able to pry it free. The boy then played with his finger in a cast.
