Some questions for you in order to get you started playing again:
What screen reader do you use? If it is JAWS, I can send you a free chess
program that you can play against, as well as connect to the Internet to
play against others, although I have not tried this feature out as of yet.
Do you have an adapted chess set for blind people to use, rather than having
to use speech to explore a chess board during the game?
I can also help you, probably one on one, as to which pieces move where and
the basic rules of the game. Or, there is a totally free correspondence
course, either on audio cassettes or in braille, available from the Hadley
School for the Blind. All course materials are yours to keep after you
complete the course, including a very nice adapted chess set.

Subject: [Audyssey] seeking very basic chess instructions
Hi folks,
I'm trying to get bakc in to playing chess after being away from it for
quite some time. Is there somewhere I can download a very, very basic
chess
manual or instructions. I'm not looking for fancy strategies at this
point,
just something in plain English that I can quickly use to remind myself of
basic chess moves, which pieces can move which ways, etc.
Also, is there anywhere, and with any program preferably free or an
extremly
low cost, that a totally blind person can play chess online with others?
Thanks.
~Ann
