Display coordinates on each square • page 1/1 • Lichess Feedback • lichess.org

Would it be possible to implement a feature that allows us to see the coordinate of each squre? It would be really handy for learning.

For beginners it's difficult to reference the two outer numbers and adding them together, and with dyslexia this is also a problem.

Aren't the numbers and letters on the side of the board enough?

@HemaWorst Not for me personally. I find it hard to read the different squares on the fly quickly..

@Doofenshmirtz I know about that one! Thanks.

That could help, actually. I always have to ref both sides of the board and it takes a sec or two. This would help burn some things into the brain!

@Modilious That's what I'm thinking and with dyslexia it's even harder to reference two different numbers than just seeing one right there on the board.
