With the right tools, does anything need to be different? In the UK at least, the visually handicapped players utilise touch sensitive pieces and boards, chess books translated to Braille and text to speech on software.soheil_hooshdaran wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 9:42 am
The difference is just with the elementary lessons?
Apologies, but advice and “notions” given on this thread are highly inaccurate.
Chris, you may not be aware that the OP is an Iranian living in his own country.Chris Ross wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 9:33 pmApologies, but advice and “notions” given on this thread are highly inaccurate.
I would strongly recommend the OP to contact the Braille Chess Association for further guidance:

Furthermore, the association will be able to support with resources, equipment and coaching facilities.
I haven’t offered any advice. I merely pointed out that the “advice” and “facts” previously expressed on this thread were highly inaccurate, yet alone inappropriate.David Sedgwick wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 10:38 pmChris, you may not be aware that the OP is an Iranian living in his own country.Chris Ross wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 9:33 pmApologies, but advice and “notions” given on this thread are highly inaccurate.
