It’s a blind game.
The photo project is dedicated to a unique world of chess for the visually impaired, where the game is not just a competition.
The practice of blind play is common among chess players, with a man playing a party without looking at the board and making oral moves. For people who can’t see, it’s a given, not a complicated game. In a similar way, parties of chess for the visually impaired are performed, with the ability to touch the figures during the game.
Because athletes don’t see the board, they have to keep the party in their head all the time. To raise the level of skill, memory and spatial thinking must be developed. Continuous training and chess-related tasks help.
Within the community, chess players communicate closely: spend time together, play online, help each other get to the competition. In many ways, chess for the visually impaired is based on the enthusiasm of individuals — grants provided by the State do not fully cover the costs of competition and team maintenance.
