Certainly blind people can learn and play chess.

You'll probably need a tactile board and pieces. The boards have raised and lowered squares and the pieces have pegs so you can feel where they are without knocking them over, but once you have those you can play just as well as a sighted person.


I suggest contacting any associations for the blind or other people who might sell accessible things wherever you are in the world, and see about getting a tactile chess set, since they're very common and easy to find, indeed you could probably get one online.

After this, just ask your dad to show you.


there are lots of online resources to learn, as well as various accessible programs, but imho it's always better playing with a human being, though don't expect to be any good without practice.


hth.


All the best,


Dark.
