Re: [AI] required info about chess game on pc and its accessibility
hi, answering your first question, yes, there are hundreds of chess games for the PC, and a few highly recommended. anyways, I haven't checked their accessibility, and hence can not be sure how friendly for VIs they are. however, the accessible chess software I use is winBoard. for jaws. you can download it from the following sendspace link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/be3tea this is version 4.4.1. winBoard is pretty comfortable to use with jjaws. I heard that the latest version of winboard for jaws, 4.5.2 is also accessible with NVDA, though till now I haven't got a chance to check it. there is another chess software you can get which is specially made for VIs. (called talks 64), that you can do by first registering with AICFB, (all india chess federation for the blinds), who also I think provide you with some daisy material for improving your chess. though again, I haven't checked that out yet. hope this helps. I'll try to clear any doubts you have. kind regards Mayank p.s. it's still highly recommended that you have a chess board with you while playing on the computer. at least for some time initially.
