Hello,
I heard that there are chess sets that have a softward in them that actually
moves the peaces. you can set the oponents playing level etc. But not sure
those could be accessible. That's what I meant by "digital chess".
Best,
Miloš

I would also like to find a travel chess set adapted for the blind.
As to your other question, I’m not sure what you mean by a “digital chess
set”. I hope this response is something along the lines of what you are
looking for: The best iPhone app that I have found is “shredder chess”. The
skill levels range fron an ELO rating of 850 up to 2,600, and it will adjust
it’s skill to yours as you win or lose games, and you can check your rating.
(mine is currently 1,327.) Another good app is Chess-wise 3. You can set up a
board position and play from that point with this one, as well as having the
ability to play against other people online, using the Free Chess Internet
Service (FICS), although I haven’t tried that feature as of yet. This app only
has 3 skill settings. Both are Voice-Over friendly. When playing, I use my
own chess set to figure out my next move, but that is because I cannot play a
game without the use of a physical board.
If you think you're finished, you! really! are! finished!!

Subject: [blind-gamers] Travel chess sets and digital ones
Hello all,
Speaking of chess, I am looking for a travel chess set for blind. It can be
both with pegs and/or magnetic, it doesn't matter. I found one on maxiaids,
22x22 cm when openned, but maxiaids are very bad and irresponsible, so much so
that they took my money, wanted more because they just then discovered that
what they offered as a shipping option would not be possible, and then
cancelled my order because according to their security policy they can't accept
international creditcards. I am surprised that such a garbage can even work in
a country such as the US, but that's another story. Back to the topic, I
haven't found such a small chess anywhere else.
Any recommendations?
Also, how about accessibility of digital chess sets? Does anyone have any
success in playing those without vision, and if yes, what is the price and
where to find them?
Thanks to everyone in advance, and best regards!
Miloš
