'The Guardian' reports that a chess-playing
robot broke the finger of a seven-year-old
boy during a match at the Moscow Open.

the child’s finger, Sergey Lazarev, President of the Moscow

Smagin said that the incident
happened after the boy failed to wait
for the machine to complete its move.
There are certain safety rules and
the child, apparently, violated them.
When he made his move, he did not
realize he first had to wait, Sergey Lazarev, President of the Moscow
Chess Federation, via 'The Guardian'.
According to Lazarev, the child, whose finger
was put in a plaster cast, did not seem
overly traumatized by the incident.

is killed every year by an industrial
robot in the United States alone.
According to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), most work accidents involving robots since 2000 have been fatalities.
The first fatal accident involving a robot came in 1979, when Robert Williams was crushed to death by a one-ton robot on Ford's Michigan production line
