In oredr to take the second, more advanced, course, you must first pass the first one. Lessons are available on audio cassettes or in braille. If you don't have a chess set that is adapted for the blind, or even if you already have one, one is provided for your use during the first course, "Chess for Beginners". After completing the course, you may keep the course equipment and material for your own use. The URL for the school is www.hadley-school.org and I think these 2 courses are very good training as well as providing a structured method of learning the game. There is a lot of insight as to how a Grandmaster of the game reasons out the best moves, which will provide you with a very good foundation on which you can build your chess skills, even if you currently know absolutely nothing about the game and want to learn it. shepherds are the best beasts [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] to leave send a blank Email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can contact the list owners/moderators by Emailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go nomail send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] change "nomail" to "normal" to resume messages.
