Hi friends,

One of my friend who is blind wants to use Ubuntu. He is very good at Chess and I was showing him glChess. However the main problem he is facing is that to play glChess he has to use mouse to make movements. It is very difficult for him to play using mouse. Can you please enable using keyboard in glChess so that he can also start using it. Already ORCA does a good job by reading all the opposition moves correctly. If even he could play his moves using keyboard, it will be really useful for him. Please consider this enhancement and see if you can implement it.

Yup.  I'll up the priority of that bug since it's a serious accessibility issue.  Thanks for your report!
