[blparent] Chess Course at Hadley School

[Tammy]

Hi,

yes it does come with a chess board that's fully adapted for blind people, 
and it teaches chess from the very beginning starting from what each piece 
looks like to how it moves and how to set up the board etc.  The first 
course mainly deals with how pieces move and what moves are good and bad, 
and the second one, principals and strategies is just that, strategies and 
game principals.  I am not a very good chess player but I like the game well 
enough to play if anybody wants a game at some point.

I've never played, but my stepson loves chess, and he would be thrilled if I
learned how.  Does the first course start from the very beginning, like
chess for dummies or something?  Is there a way to adapt chess boards so
sighted and blind players can have games together?

evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Hi,

Both chess courses they offer there are great!  Bob's a fantastic teacher,
and you get to keep the materials when you're done the first course.
Through talking communities you can meet with your class, and get extra help
from Bob when you need it.  You can also look at your progress online and
submit your assignments by email.

Hello all,
I signed up to take the chest course through haply school for the blind. Has
anyone taken this course or courses through them? Is it a good program?
