And let me also tell you that Windows 7 comes with a free chess game that actually works with JAWS! Unfortunately this won't apply for XP/Vista users.

Houts" <cadexi@xxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 15, 2010 2:55 PM Subject: Jaws and Chess Hi Listers, I've recently become interested in playing chess again, having given it up when I went blind about ten years ago. I'm aware that there are accessible chess programs around, but I have no idea how they work or how difficult it might be to use them. Also, I'm hoping there's one which speaks one's moves in explicit terms rather than using the international chess notation, and a way to scan board conditions so it's not just a matter of building up some kind of Herculean memory. In other words, I want to play chess again, but I'm a little bit of a spoiled scaredy cat about it and am hoping for the easiest possible route. is there anything out there like what I'm describing? --Bill---- "Do one thing for me, Sredni Vashtar!" -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
