I suggested webcam and skype but it didn't work out well. Is there any suggestion for a freeware or software that can connect to the internet, set up boards and positions and play as well and do lectures? If only he can do this, it will be a lot of help for him and his family.
There is a plugin for Skype but it is not very good. What about the following?
