What are your coordinate skills? ( test )

There is a kind of practice which measures how well you know the coordinates of the chessboard by prompting you to click on the coordinate given in standard notation ( like E2, G5, C7 ) and your score is the amount of correct clicks within a given time. Tactics trainer is a common feature, but I have not seen such a training before. It is not as easy as you may think.

I wonder what your score is at this test:

I got an 8 on my third try, a 6 on my second and a 4 on my first.

Broke 30 after a few tries.  Seems that after a certain score it's how good you are at the coordinate game / mouse proficiency and not much to do with how well you know the coordinates.

Good for you. I could not surpass 18 yet. Shame on me.

At the forum related to this test some claim to have reached 50.

I'm trying a thing where I make the board bigger and let my peripheral vision move the mouse to the squares (so I don't have to take my eyes off the center of the screen).

This is probably how they get 50.  This is also a useful technique in 1/0 chess.

I think a score of 18 means you pass... you definitely know the coordinates

This is when I'm white. When I'm black, I'm totally confused.

I'm 5-10 slower as black.

This is a video of someone doing 47:

Hmm, his eyes move, maybe my idea isn't necessary.  I don't think I'm accurate enough with a mouse to do 47.  Touch screen would be much easier.

Ah, but I do regularly get confused on a few.  The 8 squares on the b and g files that have pieces are a problem for me.

I wonder if people find the central squares easiest and the ones near the edge more difficult.

I got 25 with white and 18 with black

25, I am old...I don't think I can move my mouse faster than that.

This is me making 15 with black ( please note that I have just signed up to this video sharing service, so learning to use the video maker has put additional pressure on me ):

Looking at your bullet rating these things must be correlated. While I can reach more or less reasonable rating in standard time controls, my bullet is just a catastrophe and so is my coordinate test.

10 points on my first try.  Is that bad ? 

Not for the first try.

If it remains that way, it is bad :).

43 white 38 black, first tries.

Nothing much to do with playing strength, just experience with reading algebraic notation and mouse speed.

Mouse speed is correlated to playing strength for BULLET.
