rostasi Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Ray Charles learned to play chess while in rehab for his heroin addiction. He played on a specially designed board with raised and lowered squares, allowing him to differentiate between the light and dark. The pieces had round or pointed tops according to their color.
