Thanks E! I've also been on a quest for a beginner chess book in an
accessible format. Unfortunately, my Braille skills are awful so I'm not
certain if the Hadley solution would work for me.
I got interested in learning the game when I got a Macintosh and found
that
its chess game (included) is very accessible but kicks my ass every time
we
try to play together.
Happy Hacking,

Hadley School for the Blind has a beginning and advanced course in
chess. The course comes with braille books, a chess set, and braille
diagrams. It is free. It can be taken via email.

I've also just started playing email chess and I've ordered a book
from our library. Would there be someone in the group who could
work on the diagrams as necessary for me? I haven't seen the book
yet so don't know what it is like. It's just a good place for me to
start. The book is:
Chess for Dummies
If anyone would be interested in helping with this project, I'll get
more info about the chess book. I probably won't have the book for
a week or so so don't know how feasible it will be for me to do it.
Are there any chess books on the site? I don't know how to look by
subject.
Thanks.
