Chess is not just a sport, it is a social tool
Chess is not just a sport, it is a fantastic social tool. It binds people together and empowers them. If you think about it deeply, it is the only sport where the visually impaired can fight on equal terms with sighted people. When a visually-impaired player faces a sighted individual in chess, no change in rules are required. Only the equipment needs to be changed a bit. A visually-impaired chess player needs a braille board, everything else remains the same. It does not come as a surprise that visually-impaired players who have succeeded at chess have also seen a surge in their confidence levels in other areas of life.
