I had a free windows software named Lucas Chess or just *Lucas*, it had great practice exercises of memorising pieces on board. For learning coordinates we have good exercises on Lichess and Chess,com

When you solve tactics (not Rush, of course), say loud the moves from both sides. If for example Kxe7 you can just say “king e7” to simplify. After some hundred tactical puzzles you know all the squares of the board. Doing so you are training tactics and learning the squares, so you are saving time.

Something else. After you solve a puzzle saying loud the moves, try to solve the puzzle again with close eyes, and again saying loud the moves. Now you are also improving visualisation. This is possible in simple puzzles, not longer than 4 moves. At the beginning this is hard, but it get easier with the time.

I tried apps, but they are somehow boring. You need a lot of discipline. Doing what I said above you are improving also your tactical skills.

Though I don't see the point of reading memorizing coordinates though

Surely if you have mastered the ability to count from 1 to 8, and also are able to remember at least the first 8 letters of the alphabet, you are sorted.

It seems that these are two very difficult skills for the younger generation.

I was struggling to memorise chess notations as a beginner in chess, I didn’t have a board either. So, I built this tool to help myself, and hopefully, other chess beginners. https://chessnotation.xyz  

Learn Chess Notations to analyse, visualise and review chess games. #Chess
