Regium: Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence

By the way, if you type “regium” into Google now it will autocomplete with “regium chess” and “regium chess scam”

We did it guys!

Regium seems to being going all-in. They won't stop until either lichess obliges or they lose the fight. They will add fuel to the fire by any means necessary.

They don't care if they damage their own image by fighting this. They gave up their dignity already.

Well, it’s not like they can win. With all this discussion on reddit and multiple chess servers I doubt there’s more than a handful of people now who are taking Regium’s side. They’re already losing.

The wood board and the pieces looks exactly like my DGT board.

From Kickstarter’s FAQs:

“Every project page has a "Report this project to Kickstarter" button at the bottom of it. You can use this option to notify us about a violation of Our Rules, Community Guidelines, or Terms of Use (there's also some information about our Copyright & Trademark policies)....

Once a member of our Trust and Safety team has reviewed your report, you should receive an email to let you know if we took action based on your report”

There's a thread in CaptainDisillusion's subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/CaptainDisillusion/comments/f80j3k/drama_in_a_chess_world_edited_kickstarter/, they seem to find more evidence of editing (in earlier videos).
Not much yet, but may be interesting to follow.

So basically someone has to gather all the evidence, get ready for the Kickstarter, and the moment it shows up click the report button and add all the evidence to it.

@AcademicNinja99 Exactly. This scam won't see the light of the day.

I wonder how much money they invested in this scam. Sponsorship for the Speed Chess final, the actors for their marketing video, the production and editing, the website, only for their Kickstarter to fail completely before it even launches.
