I just realized that my father used to do podcasts when I was a kid. He ran a chess magazine for the blind that was on audio tapes. He used to record them after we went to bed. I would fall asleep to the sound of "rook takes bishop, mate."

That’s so interesting, I wonder how a blind person translates the 2D grid in their brain. Like “rook to B7” or whatever, to me, translates so easily cause I can imagine the letters/numbers grid. But for someone who’s been blind all their life?
