Best Chess Software for the Disabled - 2007/12/04 19:37I am the father of an adult disabled person that plays chess a bit and has a birthday coming up rapidly. She wants a play-the-computer chess software. I don't have a clue which software is a good value for a low intermediate player that can only type with the end of a pencil. Her vision is not great but OK.
Best Chess Software for the Disabled - 2007/12/05 12:10Hi Paul, welcome to the forum Wow, that is a difficult question. I have really no idea, but I do have a suggestion. HERE (please click) you will find a list of teachers teaching disabled children and adults,maybe you can contact one such teacher near your area and ask him/her that question.
Re:Best Chess Software for the Disabled - 2007/12/05 15:53 I would suggest Chessmaster 10th edition. It has childrens tutorials and games on up to adult and beyond ---------
