Jörgen Magnusson

I am Jörgen Magnusson a blind chess player from Sweden. 1985-1988 I was four times Junior World Champion for visually impaired chess players. In 1993 I was rated number among seniors. I have won the Swedish Team Championship for everyone with three different clubs. Although I changed to a scholarly career as historian of religions, I never gave up chess coaching. As I now am the president of Braille Chess Association, I taken the challenge to produce accessible chess instruction, no matter whether or not you see. Thanks to a new software, developed by my friend and blind chess student Tage Johansson, I can publish accessible chess instruction that I also hope will be interesting for all. I present the material in a slightly different way as blind players cannot watch the digital chess board, but my aim is to make the material interesting for everyone. You are most welcome to join me on the journey through chess history, from the classics to the current day.
