Hey!
Thought I'd share this chrome extension that I've been thinking about for a while, and finally managed to get working properly.
With this extension, you can play chess on lichess.org using only your keyboard! Good for learning coordinates, avoiding mouseslips, and playing on a laptop without a mouse.
Hope someone finds this useful! Any feedback is much appreciated :)

Regarding coordinates training this is definitely useful for practical training.
One thing I dislike about the coordinates trainer is that it always uses the starting position and looking at where the pieces are becomes a crutch.
Great idea, thanks.
Just writing to say thanks man
I think playing with this is going to help my visualization a lot
For some reason I can't get this extension to work - it doesn't send the moves to Lichess (it displays the last typed co-ordinate, but the pieces don't move). Any ideas?
Thanks for the great feedback!
@mCoombes314: if you hit F12 and go to the "Console" tab, are there any error messages?
No error messages in the console that I can see
Hmm, does it look like the screenshots on the chrome webstore on your screen?
Could you post a screenshot?
There's this

Looks like there are 4 errors in your console, but perhaps those are from an adblocker or something? Just in case, could you click "Console" right next to "Elements" and see there?
Btw, this might get implemented directly into lichess: https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/4wlz15/chrome_extensions_that_enables_you_to_play_chess/d683ni0
I have some errors on that tab
