Hello Troy,
Play Chess, the game of Kings, the "Martial Arts of the Mind" or the
Gymnastics of the Brain" or just have fun, take the game to whatever level
you wish.
There are many Computer Chess Programs designed specifically to be used by
screen reading software.
I should know, my name is Alan Dicey, and I am the President of the United
States Braille Chess Association.
We are a group of about 60 members, nationwide, and we play Chess!!
The sport that a Blind person can play on just about the most level playing
field with a sighted person that I can possibly think of!!!
The word Braille in the name of our group is a bit misleading, very few or
hardly any of us use Braille to play our games, the word is a holdover from
when Blind Chess Enthusiast used to send their moves back and forth through
the Postal Service, or now known as snail mail in Braille. This was before
the computer was made a common item for people to have in their homes.
Now, most games are played by sending moves back and forth via email, or we
use Voice Chat to play games.
To learn more about the Computer Chess Programs that are 100 percent Speech
friendly, even designed specifically to be so,
Visit the USBCA web site at www.crisscrosstech.com/usbca
Or to subscribe to our List Group, send an email to:

Subject: Jaws friendly games?
Hello All,
I'm looking for some games, either adventure games along the line of the
old
Infocom games or even some sports games that are Jaws friendly. I know
about Jim Kitchen's site and I've played his football and baseball games
in
the past and really didn't care for them that much, not enough variety in
what I could do especially in the football game.
They don't have to be free games although that would be nice, and although
I'm not opposed to games where I go online and play with others I'm really
just looking for something I can play against the computer.
I know some of you may have seen me ask this question on the BlindTech
list
recently but I just thought that since this is a Jaws specific list that I
might get more help here.
Troy
