The concept sounds fun. I'd have a question though. This exact thing exists on QC playroom. You can play against an AI with custom rating, you can go against all of your friends around the word of course online, completely for free. Why is this programme different than the version that we already have?

Hello Nathan,
first of all, I would like to congratulate you. Another great release!
Better yet, we can finally buy it and support your amazing effort!
Here, I will make a few suggestions:
I have noticed several spelling errors in the documentation and one weird explanation as well I wanted to clarify. Would you like me to  report those as well or the documentation is not finished?
Also, a small oops, on the download page:
Accessible Chess v1.0 setup.exe(0MB), Version downloads: 14. total downloads: 14. I know your programs are small, but 0 MB?

Now, on to  the program itself.

First, when you start an offline game, it would be great if you could choose some options. Mainly, the difficulty of the AI, which is a common setting in Chess programs, but even more importantly, whether you want to start out as white or black. Beginners especially would prefer playing as white while starting out, but in general it is a thing worth customising.
Second, I would really rework one part of the board navigation. If I keep going right, for example, I am told once I reach the end  that I am at the far right of the board. This is in my opinion completely useless, especially since the square is not repeated. If you really want this information, perhaps a short sound once you reach one of the edges, and instead of screen reader speech telling you this, just say the square name which would for me personally be more useful.
Also, quick navigation between pieces would be nice. Since first letters have already been taken up, perhaps holding ctrl and pressing keys like K, R, Q, N,P, N and B would allow you to jump to a piece on the board. Obviously, B here represents bishop, K king, N knight, Q queen and so on.
Most important of all though, I am not sure if this always happens, but it is very frequent for me.
If my opponent, for example, captures my bishop with a rook on E4, and then I have another piece that can move to E4, after focusing on E4, no piece is announced. My opponent's  rook should be spoken. Similarly, even if I play there, no capture is announced even though everything seems to play out correctly. This could be a bit misleading. Let me know if this doesn't sound  clear and I can make a short recording.
Also, but this is only a personal opinion, I would really make the sound when a piece is captured much shorter. This musical jingle is nice, but before it is done playing, another turn already happened, and possibly even another capture but there  is no sound to signify that.

All in all, with some more bugfixes, this should be a great release! These bugfixes though need to happen before anyone plays online, especially the bug where after capturing a new piece is no longer announced as you navigate to that square. Speaking of online, is it running on your own server? Do I need to forward ports to play?

For now, these are all my remarks. Thanks once again and good luck.

@4: QC added AI in v3, using the Stockfish engine.

@8 regarding documentation, I'll start with a technical rather than a spelling mistake, or maybe I am understanding it wrong myself.
"If your king is in danger of being taken in the next round, he is the only piece that can be moved."
Are you talking here about king being in Check? If so, it is not true that you can move only the king. If it is possible, you can capture the piece threatening the king with a different piece, or even move a different piece in such a way as to block the threat. However, I did test this in the actual game and everything works correctly, you can move other pieces as well while in Check as long as that's allowed at a given situation

Now, on to some other, mostly minor mistakes:
"*Rook: The rook can move vertically and horzontally as many squares as it likes."
horzontally should be horizontally here.
"*Knight: the knight is an interesting piece that moves in a three square pattern called an L shape. Those familiar with written letters may find this easier to visualise but toto explain, the knight can move a total of three squares that have to form the shape of eeither a braile D, F, H or J."
Here, toto explain has an extra to.
Either also has a double e.
"3. Termonology:"
Should be terminology instead.
In every case, cheque should instead be check.
Similarly, Chequemate should be Checkmate.
"Your king will be taken by an apponent's piece next turn if it is not moved."
apponent's should be opponent's instead.
By the way, this paragraph talking about Check again has the same mistake, saying:
"Cheque: Your king will be taken by an apponent's piece next turn if it is not moved. If the king is in cheque, he must be moved."
Same as above, the king isn't necessarily the piece which has to be moved. I am not sure if it is a rule misunderstanding or you meant to say something different that I didn't understand.
"Press L to hear the last move of your apponent."
Same as above, apponent > opponent.
"Suicide Chess: The aim of the game is to get your pieces captured while avoiding taking your apponent's pieces. If a piece can be taken, it must be taken."
Same, apponent > opponent.
"Atomic Chess: the same rules as standard chess apply, accept when you take a piece, the pieces around it explode!"
Accept should be except instead.

As a final comment, two sentences  don't  have the first letter capitalised. Those are:
"that being said the board is displayed on screen and, providing they are willing to put in the time, there is no reason why a sighted person could not also use the program to play against a blind opponent."
as well as:
"you will always start in the top left hand corner when a game begins."

Hopefully, this wasn't overly  critical. On the contrary, I really like the way you explained things and even gave a short summary of Chess rules, but as the program also has a paid version I felt like bringing this to your attention could give it a better look, especially since with an  English synth a lot of these aren't very easy to spot while proofreading.

As for bugs, no rush. Whenever an update is ready I'll be happy to re test it once again.
It is absolutely true that other places like QC exist for chess and they are excellent, but for offline play, the only app I found comparable is  BG  Chess challenge, and this app, while excellent as well uses SAPI for speech output while your program uses screen reader output making it a lot more responsive and interesting to play.
In the future, to give some more challenge, you could consider allowing us to import an  external chess engine to play with as well. Usually, though this isn't always the case, custom made engines by one developer are not that strong. Using free and long time maintained options like the Stockfish engine might not be a bad idea, but that's all up  to you and where you wish to take the program.

Thanks.
So this is probably related to the same capture bug I mentioned, but I just had a game where even though the AI was supposed to be in Check he completely ignored that and played a normal move.
A game history in FEN, I was white:
1.    Pd2-d3.    Pe7-e5
2.    Ng1-f3.    Nb8-c6
3.    Nb1-d2.    Nc6-a5
4.    Nf3xe5.    Pf7-f6
5.    Ne5-f3.    Pc7-c6
6.    Pe2-e3.    Pg7-g6
7.    Pe3-e4.    Pb7-b6
8.    Pd3-d4.    Ph7-h5
9.    Pc2-c3.    Rh8-h7
10.    Pb2-b4.    Na5-b7
11.    Bf1-c4.    Ng8-h6
12.    Pa2-a4.    Pa7-a5
13.    Pb4-b5.    Ra8-a7
14.    Nd2-b3.    Bf8-a3
15.    Bc1xa3.    Ra7-a6
16.    Bc4-f7+.    Ke8xf7
17.    Nf3-e5+.   
After this move, computer went QD8-H8, which is of course not legal in this case since the king on F7 should be in Check from the knight at E5, but strange enough even if I browse the board the king on F7 doesn't even get announced, probably because of capturing the bishop and as said above the same bug with capturing.
Hopefully that gives more clear information to solve that major bug.
For cases like these, it would also be nice if you were able  to  copy the entire game history so you can paste a game somewhere.

sounds cool!

Hi @SLJ,

When you say translate it, what are we talking. Like the main menu and such? the piece names?

Out of all my products, I could see chess being easiest to translate. MAYBE

Edit: @nidza07 I think. *THINK* I've tracked down the capturing bug, but I've added in a move exporter so we can see clearer what is going on. I've not been able to produce your exact moves as my AI doesn't move in the same way for some reason
Relatedly, what engines would you like to see included?

So how much does it actually cost? I don't see a price in either the documentation or on the webpage where you actually place the order.

That would be $13.55 US.

@dardar thank you so much for making this, i'm going to try it as soon as i can. I've been waiting for something like this for years.

Hi. I am very interested in this program.
I'm currently using the demo version, and really enjoying Accessible Chess.
But, I found problem about the chess engine.
When I try to add a new chess engine, and I'm close Accessible Chess, the chess engine I had added disappeared.
Is this a limitation of the demo version? or is it a bug?
Thanks.
