And about how much spare money you have. The luxury of buying a board that moves chess pieces itself a bit faster than the one you already have.

The project was cancelled.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/so ... -e-board-0

It is good for kickstarter to maintain their reputation. There are people who collected details to present media.

They push the kickstarter to stop the scam or spread the news via dailymail etc.

The scam continues. Here's an email I received:
Following our successful campaign in Japan, we open our crowdfunding campaign to the rest of the world.

Do not miss the opportunity to get your REGIUM e-Board at the best price!! 
https://crowdfunding.regiumchess.com/regium

They have created their own crowdfunding site.

Ha, and I did my best to figure out what was fake in the picture, looks like it was legitimately made by someone that didn't know how to arrange the pieces.

Like me, I guess :lol:

Maybe they wanted to show off that their fake device can handle FRC.
