[BlindTlk] Playing Chess

[Jude DaShiell]

You need more chess sets and a lazy susan.  Put the sets on the lazy susan
and turn it for each game in progress.
R.N.I.B. published a book on chess by Francis Merrick where you  learned
each of the piece's moves but no strategy tutorials were in that book.
I had a copy of that book many years ago.
