Thanks for the reviews. They helped me to decide to start my blind sons on their journey to learn how to play Chess and to buy this book. They will learn and identify each piece easily but teaching then strategies will be the biggest challenge for me and them! I learned to play Chest as a teenager and played well up to my mid 30's then life became very busy with our wonderful blind twin boys! Besides getting this book any tips will be greatly appreciated! Linda from ILLINOIS.
