Hi all
I used to play chess before I lost my vision. However after becoming
blind, I stopped.
I want to start playing again. I want to know a few things regarding
this.
Where can I buy a durable chess board for the blind? A link to the
product online would be greatly appreciated. Note: I don’t know Braille.
Also, how to play chess being visually impaired?
I mean, a sighted person can observe the entire board at once. This is
important to get an idea of all threats and attacks. So, what should
we do? Should we have to memorise the board?
Any other thoughts are also welcome.
Thank you in advance
Regards
Ruhin
