I work for the Hadley School for the Blind in the computers services
department. Hadley has students all over the world
If anyone wants more information they can go to www.hadley.edu
Hadley has two Chess courses which are Chess for Beginners and Chess
Principles and Strategies. An accessible Chess set is provided to those
taking Chess for Beginners and after the student completes that course
they are able to keep the accessible Chess set. I believe the accessible
Chess sets are gotten from Maxiaids.

Hi Dark,
available to citizens of the U.S. and its a shame that the U.K.
doesn't get off its apathy and do something about V.I. accessibility. .
They need a good kick up their backside as it sounds like the U.K.
agencies are worthless and you guys need to begin starting protest
rallies or something.

Hi charls.
The only problem with that is all of the library of congress stuff is
only
available in the us, indeed as I've commented before the situation of
accessible books in the Uk is infinitely worse, I also do not know if the
hadly school you mention would do courses over seas.
This is actually one reason why when I played for the braile chess
association over hear they were so concerned that very few junior players
(under 21), were playing any sort of chess, since the opportunities to
learn
it just weren't there for visually impared kids either in terms of
materials
or anything else, and even with adults, only people who had played Chess
before they went blind really joined the association.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
