Too beautiful to be true?
Many people doubt of its authenticity.
We will see.

Not fully convinced , but I would like to believe them. What a wonderful chess board dream.

Maybe it is a scam, but the attitude of some chess manufacturers is far to be honorable: money pressure is obvious in my opinion. Stealing ideas was at the beginning of chess computer history. Repetition of the same pattern.
Disgusting spectacle.

Finally, project is suspended and pledges are canceled.
The idea of the ideal e-board is compelling.
I hope that somebody will do it. The electro-magnetic net under the board is maybe a solution.
Curious to see what will come.
