Regium: Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence

Yay! Special thanks to thibault and @Myts

RIP Regium and Mr. MENSA Delgado. Thanks to all who fought to reveal this clown as a scammer.

Time to re-tell the entire story for everyone who's new here in the forum. I found a Spanish guy who can explain in detail what happened:

@Panagrellus and all
Make sure you are not drinking something while watching the video. The screen and everything around me is now full of beer.

Guys, excellent job! Delgado thought joking with the chess community would be like taking a candy from a kid, but it wasn't exactly that way.

I reported this scam to Kickstarter as soon as it went live. Received this reply today:
