Solution: Get a chess set adapted for blind players. When the computer
tells you to move a knight from g8 to f6, make the move on your board, then
enter your response however you must so that the computer knows your move.
Although I have good spatial skills, I would never play a game without a
chess set that I can examine rather than having to rely on a screen reader
and speech.

Hi Josh.
Effectively your asking how to play chess and that is a complex thing.
Short answr, should you examine the hole board and try to predict what
your opponent will do? yes, that is how to play chess.
This is why I personally cannot play chess examining the board square by
square on computer, I need the physcial board in front of me. I've tried
playing computer versions with the actual board, but because nobody is
checking the position I'll usually find something has gone wrong in me
moving peaces and there is a descrepency between me and the computer and
the game has to be abandoned.
This is another reason I'd love to see a full tactile display.
In fairness I'll admit I have trouble with spacial comprehention, and just
as I can't play chess on computer square by square I equally cannot play
sudocu or boggle type games well either, though obviously lots of people
can, though I suspect their spacial awareness is better than mine.
Beware the Grue!
DArk.
There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is
vast and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than
even the archmaesters of the citadel can dream.

Subject: [Audyssey] tips for playing bg chess
hey I would like some tips for playing bg chess. I am totally blind so
cannot see the screen. I start by moving my pawns out first d2-d4 c2-c4
and then I try to move out the nights g1-f3 and a bishop c1-e3 after
first moving a pawn c2-c4. But then it seems to get complicated. Do I
have to examine the board each move and look at all possible moves of all
my white pieces to see which can be captured? also how can I better
predict the computer's next move computer set to beginner so that I know
if say the white bishop can move forward or should move back and then
which way forward or back s-w to n-e or n-w to s-e? I feel like I'm
missing obvious things like I should have moved a rook two squares over
to capture an opponents piece but missed it because I thought I should
have moved the night up or back for some reason.
thanks for any help. or is chess just really difficult to play if you are
blind and should i stick to cards instead?
