People with visual impairment use a special chess table to play without seeing the figures. Two participants per table and the support of a partially sighted person are the only things needed. In case a special chess table is not available or to expensive you can also build one, just make sure to properly familiarize the participants with the makeshift chess table before starting to play. For people who are partially sighted a normal chess board can be used, a volunteer can assist the game to call out the movements made by each player. Same rules as at a chess game will apply. Tournaments can be organized between youngsters, depending on how many special chessboards you have.

This game can be played by visually impaired and sighted people togheter. This is why it can be suitable for an awareness raising workshop on visual impairment.
