Subject: Re: [AI] required info about chess game on pc and its accessibility
hi,
answering your first question, yes, there are hundreds of chess games
for the PC, and a few highly recommended.
anyways, I haven't checked their accessibility, and hence can not be
sure how friendly for VIs they are.
however, the accessible chess software I use is winBoard. for jaws.
you can download it from the following sendspace link:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/be3tea
this is version 4.4.1. winBoard is pretty comfortable to use with
jjaws. I heard that the latest version of winboard for jaws, 4.5.2 is
also accessible with NVDA, though till now I haven't got a chance to
check it.
there is another chess software you can get which is specially made
for VIs. (called talks 64), that you can do by first registering with
AICFB, (all india chess federation for the blinds), who also I think
provide you with some daisy material for improving your chess. though
again, I haven't checked that out yet.
hope this helps. I'll try to clear any doubts you have.
kind regards
Mayank
p.s. it's still highly recommended that you have a chess board with
you while playing on the computer. at least for some time initially.
