Re: [Audyssey] Winboard?

Hi Nicole,

Winboard is a version of Chess made for the Jaws screen reader program.

As for the Jaws Hangman program you speak of I don't have any idea.
The only Hangman game I play is the one produced by Jim Kitchen..

Cheers!

What is winboard?

Hi Nicole.
Winboard is an interface software that can host and manage several chess engines and that allows human user to use them to play 
chess.

In its version 4.5.2 is also quite Jaws friendly.
It comunicates with WB protocol, which is just one of the two available major chess protocols out there, the second one is called 
UCI.


HTH.
Gabriel.

Re: [Audyssey] Winboard question

2008-01-01 Thread Charles Rivard
The problem I have with Winboard is that you are held to the same time 
restrictions as the computer.  In order to set the computer opponent at the 
easiest difficulty, you have to set it to take the least amount of time per 
move, and then you lose when you reach that time limit.  I find that "KChess 
Elite", from

www.arkangles.com

is a much more flexible, and powerful, chess program.  I hope I spelled the 
site correctly?

Re: [Audyssey] Winboard for Window-Eyes?

2007-11-30 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Zack,

Quote
What I was wondering is if anybody on here might be able to program 
Winboard to work
with Window-Eyes in the same way it does Jaws.
End quote

I certainly could. Window Eyes does have an API in which applications 
can send information directly to Window Eyes for speaking out text such 
as moves, what piece on the board you are looking at, etc. However, that 
isn't so good for universal accessibility though.
Personally, if a developer was going to work on a new winboard program 
he/she should probably use Sapi or use pre-recorded speech as to open 
the accessibility to everyone and not just to one or two screen readers. 
I understand how helpful the Jaws and Window Eyes APIs are, but if 
someone is running Hal, NVDA, etc that isn't going to help them any. 
Cheers.

Re: [Audyssey] winboard for jfw and online chess

2006-12-28 Thread Rob
Hello,
As far as i know the version which jfw works with supports online play, but it 
is impossible to check that radiobutton, probably it is a bug. In the latest 
version of winboard 
the "bug" is fixed, and it is possible to play, but it doesn't work with jfw. 
The winboard for jfw was a modified winboard executable, which used the JfwApi 
interface. As 
far as i know, there is no update for Winboard for JFW, which would include the 
latest winboard executable.
So, though virtualy Winboard for jfw supports online play, it is not possible 
to play due to a radiobutton.
It is possible that i am not right, and if it is the case, please correct me 
(maybe somebody found out a trick to check the radiobutton in the game 
selection dialog).
