The robots have finally become sentient

A chess-playing robot, apparently failing to anticipate the quick responses of a seven-year-old boy, grabbed and broke his opponent's finger during a match at the Moscow Open. The boy’s finger was pinched by the robotic arm for several seconds before a woman and three men rushed in, eventually freeing him and ushering him away. Sergey Lazarev, president of the Moscow Chess Federation, said the machine had played many previous exhibitions without upset but added that the robot’s suppliers 'are going to have to think again'.
