On July 19, 2022, in Moscow, a 7-year-old boy (ranked among the best players in the world, under age 9) squared off in a chess match – against a robot. The game progressed as every chess game does. The boy and the robot took turns moving their pieces around the chessboard. However, at one point the young boy responded too quickly for the robot’s liking! Almost instantly, the robot clamped down on the boy’s finger and would not let go.
Several adults intervened to assist, but not before the finger was broken! On a positive note, the boy was able to return to the competition, the following day. What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?
