Adults around him gather and desperately try to remove the boy's finger from the robot hand.

The boy managed to remove the boy's finger from the robot hand and the staff took the boy to the medical office.

The chess robot on display has been exhibited at various events so far, and it is said that it was the first time that an incident like this occurred. Also, the boy whose finger was broken by the robot was a chess player with the skill to rank in the top 30 in the division under 9 years old.

'The chess robot broke the boy's finger, which is bad, of course,' said Sergey Lazarev, chairman of the Moscow Chess Federation. On the other hand, as a safety rule, I had to wait for a while until the robot pointed to my hand after it finished pointing, but Chairman Lazarev said that the boy's pointing immediately without waiting led to the robot's runaway. Points out.
