Thankfully there doesn't appear to be a way for anyone to 'buy' this from them at the mo. Looks like they've done a runner

Also, a search for Regium Chess now pretty much shows only alerts that it was a scam project.
If you can't work out it's a scam by spending 30 seconds reading any page from the thread, then you deserve to be scammed.

your'e always negative on the forums- get a life
I don't know what is all this "NEGATIVE" thing in recent years? If the true facts are negative, then the positive is stupidity.

So, entire intention of OP and many posters in this thread is to bash, Regium!
Now , what about this ?

Actually, at the very beginning, there was quite a bit of excitement about the Regium board, but it became apparent very quickly that it was a scam. Trying to scam a clientele that has strong logic and reasoning skills wasn’t the brightest idea. IT’s not a matter of negativity, because the concept of the Regium board was great, and the approach logical. It was the hocus-po us in their presentation that ultimately made people leery of the project, and then things started coming out that exposed it for the scam it was.
As to the ChessUp project, it looks worthwhile, but I’ve sworn off both Indiegogo and Kickstarter in particular and crowdfunding as a concept in general, as I’ve been burned on both platforms by projects taking years longer than their first supposed production dates. I’d rather pay list price for a working, known product than try to save a little on a smoke and mirrors possibility.

I still find it inconceivable that Regium had the effrontery to try & pull off their shenanigans on a well-informed community laden with individuals possessing high analytical abilities, naturally... No wonder they easily got exposed without going too far, but at least they're concept left us with some food for thought... On a lighter note, anyone care to apprise us of DGT's progress?
Sadly it looks like it isn't very practical (https://www.chesstech.org/2020/robot-magic-is-back/)...
Startled by the attention Regium had created, other producers of electronic boards put their developers on the subject. Benjamin Aldag with his German company topschach.de tried to recreate the technology for the Dutch company DGT. After some fiddling around he concluded that the required electromagnets would make a board with the Regium functionality into a 20-centimeter-high and very expensive block. Is there a viable version that DGT is going to build? CEO Hans Pees says: “There are always dynamics in the market, and we are always working on innovations. But we do not respond publicly to product ideas that are currently in the news.“
20-centimeter high?

That's what the article says although if it good enough for Go it should be good enough for us

The guy/s who created it shared his/their work here step by step (more or less);
https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-equipment/making-my-automatic-chessboard
Regium people never explained how they did the board and never answered any questions.
Instead, you can ask PhantomBoard guys what you want and you will have a sure answer.
They also have a discord server to chat and to ask questions;
a youtube channel, the source code can be checked in their webpage:
https://hackaday.io/project/179268-automatic-chessboardhttps://bit.ly/3emyBWy
So, it is all shown in this project not as Regium did.
Any new updates?
