Algebraic Notation and Chess Coordinates

Sort:
Misfit159

Since the pandemic hit, I've had more time to focus on the best game on Earth. This journey has brought me to chess books. Most chess books use algebraic notation. I am not fluent with the chess coordinates. I've tried the vision trainer but that doesn't help when I'm trying to read a book and follow. Is there any way you software engineers at Chess.com can include a board option that has the coordinates on each individual square? I feel like after playing so many games and seeing the actual coordinates on each square would help to ingrain that to memory. Just a suggestion. Thanks.

Hm.  I just went to settings . . .

And found coordinates choices inside or outside of the boards . . .

works for me . . .

I noticed that too. But would prefer the coordinates were on each individual square.
