Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence
I have been watching this on the other chess forums. Saying that Regium is a fake, and the demo was all CGI.
I find this ridiculous as this technology is simple, but just never used for a chessboard.

I will be buying Regium. If Regium has the software nailed down. Where I can use it with Chessbase and other apps.
Of course, you do have a point about technology already being available, but I (along with all chess.com users) have just received an email from chess.com about Regium and “unverifiable claims”, so I would just take caution and make sure they are truly legit. It kind of scares me, honestly, that chess.com allowed the sponsorship without verifying the claims of Regium, but I digress.

On another note, if they (or another competitor like square off) are legit, and are able to let you import your own UCI engines, I will probably buy one, as I would love to play (and lose) against my own engine OTB

Cheers!
:D
What is there to be scared of with Regium. Unless you are giving them money before you see the product. I am not an investor! If it is a scam only the investors will be hurt. A fool and their money are soon parted.
It is up to you, your money, your choice. Buying a fake product is also risk of losing money because you pay 100% online before you receive the product.


People say scams because the team has fake photos from internet and advertise with fake ( edited) video.
For example, one of their team member is a random photo from internet.

We will see and again who is going to buy this without seeing many reviews. On the flip side I see nothing that convinces me it is a fake. Right now it looks like a smear campaign. Who has lost money and claiming it is a scam. Like someone with Standing!

In 2021
1. Regium website is gone

https://regiumchess.com/about.html

2. Their crowd funding website is gone
https://regiumchess.com/crowdfunding/

3. They have been kicked out from kickstarter


Is it enough to convince you that they are scam?
Or do you want to wait and see in next year?😁😃😄
