Once you get a set that you can use, I'm up for a game.

Another option, farther down the road, is to get a chess computer that can
be used, after any modification necessary, by blind people. By beeps of
different tones, you can tell where the machine moved its pieces. You
have
to mark the black pieces for identification. I cut rubber magnet material
from a roll that match the squares and matching magnets and stuck them
onto
the bottoms of the chessmen so they stick to the squares. Now, I can
examine the board layout while planning moves without knocking the men off
the board. Chess computers are good when traveling or when there isn't a
human opponent when you're in the mood for a game. You can set the skill
to
just a bit stronger than you, so you can gradually improve. I have now
run
into a problem, though. I bought a chess computer for home use that is
rated at around 2400, which will give Grand Masters a challenge. It beats
me on it's lowest level. Frustrating as all heck, but fun!
