Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 23 October 2026

Our commitment

Stay Chessy aims to make its website and information about chess lessons accessible to people with disabilities.

Our accessibility work is guided by Israeli Standard IS 5568 Part 1 and WCAG Level AA requirements. We also use more recent WCAG guidance to inform improvements where appropriate.

Accessibility features

The website includes:

• A "Skip to main content" link.
• Structured headings, navigation, and labelled form fields.
• Text labels for icon-only controls and text alternatives for meaningful images.
• Keyboard controls for navigation and interactive features.
• Responsive layouts intended to support different screen sizes.
• Support for the device's reduced-motion preference.
• Lesson preview videos that open muted, with sound enabled by the visitor.

These features do not, on their own, establish full accessibility conformance.

Keyboard controls for Knight's Tour

The game includes keyboard navigation between squares and selection using Enter or Space.

Before the first move, arrow keys move between squares. After play begins, Left and Right browse move history. Hold Shift with the arrow keys to move between squares instead.

The game remains highly visual. Its usability with screen readers has not been fully assessed.

Known limitations

• Lesson preview videos do not currently include captions or text transcripts.
• Full screen-reader access to the game has not been verified.
• Some mobile game layouts may display incorrectly, including when the board opens in an overlay.
• Compatibility with all browsers, devices, zoom settings, and assistive technologies has not been verified.

Assessment status

Some accessibility features have received internal checks, but a complete assessment of the current website against all applicable criteria has not been completed.

We do not currently claim full conformance or external accessibility certification.
