She’s a Chess Champion Who Can Barely See the Board – Repost from the New York Times

Jessica seated behind a chess board.

 She’s a chess champion who can barely see the board. Repost from the New York Times Dec. 24, 2020.

Jessica is three times US Blind Chess Champion. She has just a little usable vision. She has to touch the chess pieces to identify them. This can be a problem!

  1. I could not access this article about a near blind chess Champion.
    Have been watching “The Queen’s gambit” on tv.

    1. Hi David,
      The New York Times allows access to 5 free articles per month so perhaps you had already read 5 articles? If you search for “Jessica Blind Chess Champion you may get the article that way. Best wishes,
