Possible to switch to Descriptive Notation?

Hey yall! I just got Pawn Power in Chess by Hans Kmoch, and it uses the old Descriptive Notation. Before I dive in, I’d like to get more familiar with it (I know the basics, but it’d be hard to understand) so I’m wondering if I can change my chess.com to show descriptive notation instead of algebraic. I understand if this isn’t possible of course; nobody uses it these days, but I’m just wondering if it’s a possibility. Thanks!

I think it is not possible, but the "translation" from the Descriptive to the Algebric notation is not so hard to find online or to understand. It is a matter of getting used to it. In a few minutes understanding the basics, you will get it happy.png
