Me too Brent.  

 

That story about the robot breaking the Russian kid’s finger made the rounds on my chess news sites.  Of course with that crowd they wanted to see if the game was recorded, so they could offer critiques of the quality of play up to the time of the attack, after which the boy likely resigned.

 

The whole episode reinforced what a lot of us have long known: chess is a cruel and heartless game.
