Subject: [ExI] Chess robot breaks opponent's finger<br>

Hey Spike. This made me think of you. :)<br>

AT first I thought the robot mistook the kids finger for a chess piece. But<br>
then it refused to let go so who knows?<br>

Ja Stuart, but the sneaky little commie was attempting the Reverse Benoni<br>
countergambit with black!  The machine knows Asimov's laws of robotics and<br>
all that, but recall that Asimov himself was a Russian immigrant.  Can't be<br>
too careful, ja?  I would consider it a harsh but justifiable mechanical<br>
counter-attack under the circumstances.<br>
<br>
I hope the little commie recovers quickly and completely.  Then never tries<br>
those sneaky Russian countergambits again.<br>
