While the oldschool chess notation that was stilil very much in use when I was young spoke the piece first, 
e.g., knite to king's bishop 3, with the 
more modern notation used by xboard I prefer things as they currently are spoken. This is mostlly based on 
how it sounds rather than any logic, but 
hearing one letter and one number is pretty fast, so any logical advantage gained by either order is 
minimal.
I for one want to hear both bits of information anyway, so I will go with what sounds best to my ear/purely 
asthetic...
It would probably not be so hard to make changing this order an option, so if it is imppportant for someone 
to have a different order than what we have 
now I vote for adding this option to the accessibility menu.
Thanks.

Hi vilmar, hi list,

i did a look a this great work.
its great that the game is accessible for visual impaired :). great job!
thanks for doing that.

Thanks chrys87 for trying xboard!!

i found a few strange things:
- I start a new party, (play vs computer, i play white on the bottom side of
the field): i select the right knight. If i press the arrow up key now (to
select a new field), the focus is somewhere it say 'lower as' button
(german: "kleiner als" Druckknopf. after that i have to press arrow down do
go back to the gamefield. now i could press again arrow up to focus the next
field. ( i would like to set the new field without focusing the "<" button.
(is that possible? because that makes playing the game hard)

The solution patch is attached with this mail. Apply the patch and
recompile xboard.
Please report feedback as soon as possible.

- is it possible to change the order of that whas announced? it would be
cool if first the piece on a field is spoken and after that the coordinates
are spoken. ( because its more usefull, if i m on
B1 and Press arrow left i know where i m :), the piece is more interesting
to me )

Ahh dear list please let me know your opinion about this!!

- a neat feature is also to announce if i unselect a piece :).

Yes  sure this also added in the attached patch. Thanks for your
valuable feedback.
