I woulda smashed a chair into the robot and challenged it to a duel outside.

Outlaw robot never heard of Isaac Asimov’s three laws of robotics.

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

According to Lazarev, the boy was not phased fazed by the incident and returned to play chess the next day with his finger in a cast.

Unless the robot used a phaser.

Once you let go of a piece, you cannot move it back.

Both players are entitled to touch and adjust the position of any piece on the board at any time - provided they simultaneously say, "J'adoube" (= "I adjust").

Regards,

Full-contact chess. I've broken fingers for trying that crap....

Then you must have programmed the robot...

Should have just upended the chess board if he was losing.

Maybe the AI had a severe anger management problem.
