I use to have a electronic chess. set that was accessible without trying. The piecesfit in a hole and would beep if in wrong move. I got it for Christmas 40 years ago and never seen another one like it sense. Now if you got a mac then you got a accessible chess set ap. There was one being worked on for windows besides winches .
