As far as chess programs on the computer go, there is Kchess elite from
arcangle software, which I believe is still playable with NVDA or Jaws.
There is then Winboard which i think is Jaws only.
Ian Humphries of spoonbill software has a BG chess game which is Sapi
accessible, and chess is included on the quentin C playroom.
For Ios there are a few chess aps, Shredder chess and the recently
released diamond chess come to mind.
Personally, I always found chess a bit too hard to play without a
physical board in front of me, since even having speech read the board
square by square just isn't enough for me to overview a position without
being able to physically have my hands on it.
Then again, I admit I'm not great at holding spacial information in my
head, one reason I'm no good at games like sudocu or boggle on the
computer either.
For Chess particularly, I'd strongly advise playing against a human,
especially when your learning and can have your fingers on respective
moves, and if people in your family are playing chess, it might be a
nice thing to do together as well, but it's entirely up to you.
All the best,
Dark.
