Hi Charles, What is this free chess program that you are talking about? Is it when bored?

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. --- Shepherds are the best beasts. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann Tate" <tate...@gmail.com> To: <Gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 8:33 AM 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.
