Body: <p>I have severe dyslexia which means that for the majority of chess books I find it very difficult to accurately read games (although having a board does help). My favorite chess book when I was younger was <em>Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess</em> (which I am sure many of you have picked up at one time or another); its visual style really appealed to someone with my particular difficulties. Is there a series of chess books, or an author/website which uses a similar purely visual method to tackle the more in-depth aspects of chess?    </p>

Title: Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess - Visual Teaching of Chess
ThreadText: # Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess - Visual Teaching of Chess
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2012-11-05)
  
  I have severe dyslexia which means that for the majority of chess books I find it very difficult to accurately read games (although having a board does help). My favorite chess book when I was younger was *Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess* (which I am sure many of you have picked up at one time or another); its visual style really appealed to someone with my particular difficulties. Is there a series of chess books, or an author/website which uses a similar purely visual method to tackle the more in-depth aspects of chess?

  [Chessable](https://www.chessable.com/) have turned a large number of chess books, many of them classics, into audio-visual chess courses. I think you can register for free to preview their material. Alternatively they have a [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxVGiP4dl19wwGJlCy3_u8g) which also publishes previews.
