Name that square!

We learn about chess notation Chess notation, i.e. writing down and «reading» of chess moves is absolutely necessary for all chess training. Knowing the notation helps us to read

chess books, to note down our own (training) games and to play through them later in order to find mistakes and improvements or to show our games to other people. So let’s take a

closer look at our chessboard: Round about it we can see numbers and letters. It reminds you of the game «battleships», doesn’t it? And that is exactly how chess notation works.

We can describe each square by its co-ordinates. So each square has a «name», which we can use to identify it.
