Coordinate Training

Know every square without thinking.

Fluent board vision is the quiet skill behind every calculation. Drill the coordinates in a 30-second sprint until e4, Nf3, and the long diagonal are instant — so your mind is free for the moves, not the map.

Name this square

e4

See it, name it — in under a second.

Board vision in three steps

1

Choose your drill

Pick a mode and a side — find the square or name it, from White's view or Black's.

2

Race the clock

You get 30 seconds. Answer as many squares as you can and watch your score climb.

3

Turn off the labels

Start with the coordinates shown, then hide them and rely on real board vision.

Find the square

You see the name — tap the square.

Name the square

A square lights up — you name it.

Two directions of fluency

Find the square — or name it

Real board vision works both ways. In one mode you see a coordinate and tap the square; in the other a square lights up and you name it. Drill both and the grid becomes second nature.

Easy — labels on

Hard — labels off

Lose the labels and you're seeing the board, not reading it.

Wean off the training wheels

From labeled board to pure vision

Easy mode keeps the rank and file labels on the edge of the board while you build confidence. Switch to hard and the labels disappear — now you're reading the board the way you do in a real game.

A drill built to stick

Play either side

Flip to Black's view — you'll sit on both sides of the board in real games.

30-second sprint

Bite-sized rounds made for a quick daily rep that actually sticks.

Leaderboard & bests

Track your high score per difficulty and compete on the global leaderboard.

Free, web & mobile

Never paywalled — drill your coordinates anywhere, on any plan.
