[nabs-l] Hadley's Chess courses.

[Sandra Gayer]

Hello Everyone,
I've tried a couple of computer game versions of chess to try to teach
myself how to play the game. It hasn't been successful. I don't know
much about it at all but I heard about adapted chessboards recently
which intrigued me. Hadley's "Chess for Beginners" says you will learn
how to navigate an adapted chessboard. Does that mean you have to buy
one? As the course is free, I'd be very surprised if they just give
you one as standard but perhaps they do? Any advice would be
appreciated.

Very best wishes,
Sandra.
