Blind players

Post by stevencarr » Sat Nov 29, 2014 10:17 am

I played a blind player on Wednesday.

i first played against blind people in the pre-Internet age.

But now I was wondering, how do blind people keep up with the explosion of theory in recent times?

It's probably easier with the aid of electronic assistance. Books don't have to be transcribed to Braille, they can just talk to you instead. Similarly with game collections.

However they do it, they certainly do :) A couple of very strong ones round Yorkshire at the moment.
