I have received today the kind donation of a specially adapted chess set for the visually impaired from our affiliate the Braille Chess Association. I intend to loan it out (or demonstrate it) to anyone requiring this type of chess set so that anyone can try it out. I also intend to obtain other resources such as specialist chess clocks, audio and braille books so that we can encourage disabled people either to take up the game or at least enjoy the resources that Chess Scotland can provide. If anyone knows of anyone that needs any help or has any suggestions that can help Chess Scotland in this area, please contact me.
