Hi Edward, The dgt board is a normal wooden board with wooden pieces, which connects to the computer via the usb port or wireless via bluetooth. However, with sighted help, I believe you could make the board functional for a totally blind player. I will write to the dgt repair shop to see if this has already been done and let you know. Good Luck, Manny please help me reach a million clicks by forwarding my stand-up comedy performance to your friends, or Tweet or Facebook it. ** ** ** ** ** **http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75fbevlz10g ** ** ** ** ** computer specifications: Window Eyes 8.4, Dell xps420 Windows 7 home premium, with dual boot to windows 8.1, with start8 from: www.stardock.com with 8 gb RAM, Intel q6600 quad core drivers and software updated software recommended: Firefox, Thunderbird, security: Microsoft security essential, Malware Bytes pro, Win Patrol, Roboform, On 1/11/2015 12:46 AM, Edward Green wrote:
Hi Mandy, I saw your email in response to Jim on the Window-Eyes list about chess software. I have Fritz on my PC but haven’t come across the DGT boards. How accessible is the board? Are the black and white pieces differentiated and are the squares raised? Thanks a lot, Ed *From:*manny [mailto:[email protected]] *Sent:* 11 January 2015 01:09 *To:* [email protected]; gwmicro list *Subject:* Re: Chess help PLEASE Hi Jim, I don't know anything about your chess program. I use fritz12 and you can get fritz6 for under$15. You can set fritz to announce the moves. I use a dgt chess board which is compatible with fritz. I just make the move on the board and fritz announces the move. I play on icc using my dgt board and play chess with players all over the world.. Pretty cool, My handl on icc is blind-warrior.

I have a Chess game on my computer called 'Chess Titens'. I know when I was running W.E. 8.x It didn't appear to function well at all..? But now with the W.E. 9 Beta W.E. seems to be reading the names and colors of each piece as well as their positions. From what I have read in the help docs I simply click the piece I wish to move and then the space where I wish to move it and it is suppose to do its thing. But I notice that it is a bit of a hit and miss - what I mean is that it will move occasionally, but not consistantly. First of all is anyone on this list familiar with Chess Titens? If so, can you explain to me what I might be doing incorrectly? I know there are probably games which will work with W.E. And a few of you have suggested them, but I seem to have lost the E-Mails. Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to play this game? Any help / advice would be greatly APPRECIATED! P.S. I know the game of chess fairly well I simply need some help in playing it on my computer. THANKS& 73 de <KF8LT><Jim Wohlgamuth>.
