A Good Chess Cheater Might Never Be Caught
Ever since he beat the greatest chess player who ever lived, Hans Niemann has been called a cheat. The 19-year-old's surprising victory over Magnus Carlsen in St. Louis on September 4 led to accusations that he'd been taking cues from a chess-playing AI, or chess "engine." Niemann later admitted to having done just that on two occasions--both times when he was even younger, and while he was playing chess online. But he'd beaten Carlsen fairly, he insisted. For weeks now, chess experts have been trying to assess that claim, posting what they've found on social media.

Lazarev said that the machine had been hired for many previous events without any problems, and that the incident was an'extremely rare case'.

Wait A Minute, Mate! Chess Robot Breaks 7-Year-Old Opponent's Finger
A chess-playing robot last week appeared to rather pointedly break the finger of its opponent: a 7-year-old boy. The startling attack occurred during a game in the Moscow Open and involved one of the top 30 child chess players in Russia, The Guardian reported. Chess officials claimed the robot reacted to a sudden movement and blamed the boy for violating safety protocol by acting like a child. But they did admit it was very "bad" of the robot. "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 Smagin, vice-president of the Russian Chess Federation, told Russian media.

Chess robot breaks finger of seven-year-old boy during tournament in Russia
A chess-playing robot broke a child's finger during a tournament in Russia last week, with the incident being captured in CCTV footage. The robot grabbed the seven-year-old boy's finger because it was confused by his overly-quick movements, Russian media outlets reported, quoting the President of the Moscow Chess Federation - who seemingly blamed the child. 'The robot broke the child's finger - this, of course, is bad,' Sergey Lazarev told Russia's TASS news agency, while distancing his organisation from the robot. The incident occurred at the Moscow Open on July 19. Lazarev said that the federation had rented the robot for the event, which ran from July 13 to 21. Lazarev said that the machine had been hired for many previous events without incident, saying the boy went to move a piece too quickly after making a move.

Chess robot grabs and breaks finger of seven-year-old opponent
Played by humans, chess is a game of strategic thinking, calm concentration and patient intellectual endeavour. Violence does not usually come into it. The same, it seems, cannot always be said of machines. Last week, according to Russian media outlets, a chess-playing robot, apparently unsettled by the quick responses of a seven-year-old boy, unceremoniously grabbed and broke his finger during a match at the Moscow Open. "The robot broke the child's finger," Sergey Lazarev, president of the Moscow Chess Federation, told the TASS news agency after the incident, adding that the machine had played many previous exhibitions without upset.
