Hi Chris, I wish I could help you. But I have had that same problem. I have always played with sighted players and had them help me position pieces but in general I couldn't come up with anything other than a crude grid system. But that sounds pretty much like excel so not much help there. If you do find a solution, let us know, I am interested to see how you solved it. sorry I couldnt help The truth will set you free...
