Hi. I am a blind, 18 year-old, computer using, beginner at chess. I am looking for a program for my IBM PC that will let me play chess against it, at a variety of levels of difficulty. Here's the catch. I depend on speech from the computer to get what's on the screen, so I need something that both let's me enter the moves using the keyboard (not a mouse), and also puts a list of moves on the screen in algebraic notation. In other words, I can't use a chess program that is ALL GRAPHICS like Battle Chess. Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome. Also, are there any portable chess computers/sets that talk? Thanks in advance, Chris. Note: If you can, please send your replies to one of the following addresses, the best one to use being the Internet Email one. Internet: email to chris.smart@canrem.com Fidonet: netmail to 1:229/15 Rime: private and routed mail to ->crs or ->118 ... OH NO NURSE, I said prick his boil. (sigh) ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12
