Also, this has nothing at all to do with the subject line, so I have read two
posts that I would not have opened otherwise. Because I receive hundreds per
day, the subject line is my main factor to determine whether I open or delete.

What do you mean by share some games? You mean to play with you or you would
like to read some games?

I got a library with more than 2000 games in pgn format, a lot of them are
commented. Very handy to study some stuff.

Hello everyone,
I know of two on-line resources for those who are interested.

First the chess problemist society provides a weekly problem in FEN. There
is an archive of previous problems and solutions as well as some articles on
basic strategies for solving chess problems.

http://www.theproblemist.org/

Second, lichess.org has an option to enable an accessibility mode. I've
tested it out for a practice game against the stockfish engine and it works.
While playing in accessibility mode, there is a text-list of all the moves made
in order, an FEN string of the current board configuration and a table with the
move-log of the game. You submit your move in an edit-box using UCI notation
which is like long-algebraic (i.e. 1. Nf3 is entered as "g1f3", king-side
castling is "e1g1" etc).

lichess has puzzles and training features which I haven't tested yet, but
if they are not accessible now, the developer/host does appear willing to help
improve accessibility of the site.

enjoy,
--Paul
