A chess-playing robot grabbed and broke the finger of a seven-year-old boy during a match at the Moscow Open last week.
Footage shows the boy’s finger being pinched by the robotic arm for several seconds, before a woman and three men rush in freeing the boy from the machine’s grip.

Web 3.0 dictionary 101 for non-techies(i.e me and you)
You: need to look smart when you get asked about the metaverse/crypto/NFTs in your next board meeting. We're on a mission to skill you up.
SHILL- the act of heavily promoting a cryptocurrency, stock, or other asset in an effort to increase adoption and, in turn, raise its price.
This is usually done via spamming on social media, and generally carries a negative connotation.
How to use: A person who performs the act of shilling may also be referred to as a shill.“I’ve been shilling this new doge coin on Twitter all month, Elon Musk?!”
