You say: " I’ve never been any good at the computer version fo chess games,
since I’m used to looking at the board to find where the pieces are." I
ask: "So, why not use your board and men, making the moves spoken by the
computer program? Then you can scope out your own board to determine your
move and enter it into the computer program?" That's what I do, and it
works perfectly. If the machine tells you to move a knight to f6, make the
move on your board. If your next move is a bishop from C1 to G5, instruct
the computer that this is your move.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] chess and the blind
In terms of the physical boards, I have a peg type one, with the points on
the black pieces. Mine is pretty big so keep it set up, but I have heard
there are travel sets for the blind as well. I’ve never been any good at
the computer version fo chess games, since I’m used to looking at the board
to find where the pieces are. Blind chess sets can be rather interesting to
try and play with sighted people, because sometimes the pieces don’t look
anything like a standard set. I did have someone try and mark up a normal
set once, but it didn’t work too well, since it wasn’t easy to distinguish
between the black and white squares and the bumpons kept falling off the
appropriate pieces.
