Re: [orca-list] any accessible chess game?

Doesn't really matter, but I wonder if a pref for GUI over CLI aps is much stronger among sighted users 
compared with screenreader-using blinks. 
I am talking Linux and any xnix for that matter here. Just saying I run in to a lot of forum posts and 
general purpose how-tos that  talk about CLI 
alternatives, and have seen quite a few blind folks asking specifically for GUI options over the years.
I do suspect that indeed the GUI preference percentage is higher for sighted persons, but thought that the 
Knopix idea that a blind Linux novice would 
prefer CLI to GUI alternatives was incorrect. 
I really just go for what ever makes me more productive, but may come down on the CLI side in close calls 
because of never haviing had new/cutting edge 
hardware, just me though. I totally want to see as many choices as possible both CLI and GUI.

   Hi all,
   below is the link for the windows VI games that do include chess plus
   others. I am aware this is for Linux, but you can use the Linux windows
   libraries to use them. As long as they support MSapi speech, you will be
   fine.

   The programs are free.

     yes, the fact is sighted computer users like graphical interfaces, so
     the more we can use the better.

       Yeah, playing against the computer all the time gets pretty boring and
       sighted people won�t use a cli chess game when there are GUI ones
       around so, we need an accessible one unless we only want to play
       against other blind people and the handful of sighted folks not
       daunted by a command line these days.

       Lol, so they can play remotely with someone.
        
       I just find it easier using the GUI versions under Windows and Mac
       then using Gnu chess on the command line. The GuI you can get away
       with not using a board at the same time.

         GNU chess used to be accessible.

         It still is on the command line. Use it with Speakup or Brltty.

         I have no idea of a accessible gui chess application, but I also
         don't
         understand why a blind user would insist on a gui shess app.

         Note there is an app called gnome-chess, which is not the same as
         gnu
         chess.

         I am aware of windows and Mac accessible  Chess games.

         hello all,
         I remember some thread was on about accessible games.
         I wish to know if there is some thing accessible for chess?
         happy hacking.
