Best Chess Software for the Disabled

[pkonanz]

I 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.

I need your help!

Regards,

Paul

Hi 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.
