@me_unsolicited you have linked one electromagnet, at $15. They claim 9 electromagnets per square. There are 64 squares on a chessboard. With the one you linked, that's 9*64*15. I'm not so good at maths but I know for sure that's over the $1,000 board cost angel claimed in his interview.
9*64*15 = `8640
@Cynosure Somehow I misinterpreted what you were saying to mean $1000 per each 64 square which I couldn't believe obviously. My bad
Wow, this is such a scam'
I spoke with a few of my friends at chess24 and apparently regium, in lack of a public API from chess24, hired a bunch of people that play on chess24 based on the board move, as it was the only way.
When you log in to chess24 using regium, they store the plain text username and password on sticky notes and places them on the board to know which player played what move.
The plan is to improve the system.

You got to love no-profit organisations. Thibault thanks for looking out for us.
Much love for lichess for publicly challenging this. You prove people wrong by allowing third parties to demo your product, not threaten and post false testimony. Time will reveal this to be a hoax.
Damn it. I really wanted this board to be true. Hopefully some other company ( DGT perhaps) picks up on this and produces a product chess players and fans really want.
When I first took a look at the video it became obvious it was fake. The movement of the pieces is so unnatural.
The second video, ´this one, seems pretty legit to me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjObX4Myzpw
What do you think, guys?
