This would help a lot. What I wanted, in short, is: some chess tactical puzzles for beginners, starting from beginner level and progressing, so that I can follow the, study and repeat.
Please help -- chess tactics study plan for visually impaired players
Sort:
which book would you recommend to start? I was planning something that would start easy and increase the difficulty level. I am open to any suggestions.
Sorry for taking so long to answer. I haven't realized that there were new posts on the thread.
From your description of the books, I got interested in the Neishtadt's "Test your tactical ability" -- for having the examples and also emphasizing on pattern recognition.
Do you use facebook or any other communication tool so that we could arrange some details?
my facebook, in case you use it, is facebook.com/lucasfox
Again, thank you very much for helping!
Hey all,
I am visually impaired and returned playing chess three months ago. I would like to study tactics now, but I've tried:
The web sites: chess.com, chesstempo.com.
The softwares: chess tactics for beginners and CTART 3.0 were also tried and they are not accessible to screen readers.
Books: most of chess tactics books present a position as a diagram instead of fen notation. Although I can read the algebraic notation of the following moves, I have no idea how the first position is, so making it useless to buy any book in digital format.
I would like to have chess tactics exercises from different levels of difficulty in fen format, so I can read then and setup the position on my board.
1. Does anyone have a library of chess tactics exercises in fen format for beginners?
2. Could someone help translate some chess tactics positions into fen format?
From the many sources that people suggest to study tactics, I have tested a lot of them with no success. I was wondering if someone could help get some positions, write the fen (probably there are programs that we could put the position and just export to fen), and if we get the positions from a source that has already classified the difficulty level of each exercise, we could group them into subjects or rating-level, I am not sure the best way to do that.
the point is, I am stuck at this moment. I got some exercises in fen format, but I have no idea about their difficulty, what order should I follow, and this can make things worse instead of helping.
In case you can help, please let me know or if you have any other suggestion.
Thanks
