Square Off - Chess Set

Check on their site, as I can't remember 

People are selling their old ones bc they bought a new one with this latest announcement was made

I just can't wait for REGIUM to come out. Looks insane from demos so far and it works with all chess servers ( chesscom, Lichess, fics, ICC ..etc) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARQeNlMMPS8

So it says, but how? I think that is perhaps wishful thinking. 

As far. As I understand chess.com supports Dgt board and square off boards, and lichess doesn't support either. 

I read in a thread that acid ape is the only thing they will allow to connect. Think it was in the Cerberos(?) board thread?

I guess we will have to wait and see, but I think some of the features listed for this new one are more inspirational than reality 

No, I just have a healthy distrust for product claims when they are not even on kickstarter yet. I'm sure they woulds /want/ it to interface with every site but I think the practicalities are that it will not, certainly upon first release if it gets that far.

Oh, looks like a reply got deleted ( someone for some reason bringing the moon landings into this conversation....) 

I think this is new, it looks like the Regium board put up a countdown until their Kickstarter starts.  https://www.regiumchess.com/index.html

Starts 2/25.  If this electromagnetic grid approach works and is cost effective, it will certainly give Squareoff a run for their money   

It was mentioned on the previous page on this thread. the demonstration video has been called out as fake by many, including the founder of another well-known chess website.

I'm guessing this is what they /want/ it to look like, but the reality remains to be seen

Just receive my Square Off yesterday, MAGIC !!!  Very good quality

I love my Square Off set but I've had a problem a few times and I'm curious if others have experienced this.  Sometimes when I'm playing someone via the chess.com integration, my move registers on my board, but it doesn't register on Chess.com.  As a result, on the Square Off app, it shows that it is their turn and their clock is running, but in reality, it is my clock that is running on Chess.com.  Eventually I run out of time on the Chess.com side and I lose.  I can see this the case by looking at the game on the chess.com side afterward and I can see that my last move was not registered.  I'm going to contact support but was curious if anyone else has experienced this issue? 

Does any one knows if it can automatically set puzzles?

That would be cool

The current one doesn't, even if it could it would be very slow. Not sure of the newer ones in production will be able to or not

I haven't used my board /loads/ but haven't ever had this occur. I'd guess an internet issue?

We all knew this was coming, and many of you have already seen this, but I thought I'd share anyway...
