greetings,
It's difficult for me to thell from your post exacctly what your problem is.
(a) if it's dealing with the display: gnuchess by default has a textual
display, and there are several graphical overlays that can be obtained. I can
not comment on the graphical front-ends because I have never used them. The
simple text display of the board uses capital letters for player 1 (the light
colored pieces), so "R" for player 1's rook; and lower case letter for player 2
(the dark colored pieces), so "r" for player 2's rook. It might be difficult
to notice these differences with orca/speakup/etc, many vissually impared users
of gnuchess typically use a braille display to review the board.
(b) if you are having a problem entering in your moves:
Again, I can not comment of the various graphical over-lays. Running gnuchess
from the commandline in text mode, standard algebraic notation works. I.E.
RA1-a5 would move a rook from square a1 to a5 (assuming this is a legal move).
If you are trying to caputre a rook with a rook, Ra1xRa8 (or whaterver the case
may be). As long as you include the starting and ending square, there should
never be any confusion.
If you still have trouble with this, e-mail me off-list and i'll try and help
you as best I can:-)
