A Russian chess robot broke a child’s finger during a match in Moscow, officials said.

A video of the incident shows the robot, which is essentially a large mechanical arm, playing against the unnamed boy. The boy is seen moving one of his chess pieces when the robot appears to grab his finger before officials intervene and free the child from its grasp.
