App Description

Welcome to Chess Notation Lab! Are you struggling to identify squares, remember sequences, and follow chess notations? Do you have trouble visualizing Bishop diagonals? Or Knight jumps? Or worse, mapping the available moves for the Queen to get/avoid a deadly fork? This training app is designed to end this misery. There are 2 training modes, each with 5 unique training sessions carefully designed to dramatically uplift your mastery over chess squares and fluid piece movement. A small dose of regular practice will empower you to:

1. Spot a square as soon as you hear or see its coordinate
2. Fluidly move any piece around the board, even without a board
3. Translate a sequence of moves into their notation with ease
4. Immediately identify the color of a square
5. Stay oriented regardless of whether you're white or black
6. Follow along with chess tutorials, books, or discussions at ease and comfort
7. Massively speed up your thought process on any calculation
8. Finally, start playing blind chess!

Don't be surprised if you experience a sudden surge in rating simply by improving your square reading skills. The free version is already effective enough to significantly boost your chess career. However, if you want to support me and get the full version, first of all, thanks!! And then just a one-time purchase will unlock:

- Longer time controls

There will be no ads, neither in the full version nor in the free one. Just a beautiful and satisfyingly addictive path to mastering squares. The level of comfort you will feel about talking, reading or even thinking about chess is, believe me, just priceless.
