About
A small Google Chrome extension adding keyboard navigation to chess.com website.
It supports moves input in:
- algebraic notation: 'Nf3', '0-0';
- coordinates notation: 'e2e4' ('e2 e4' and 'e2-e4' can be also used).
Other move formats may be implemented in future.
This way of moving pieces may enhance your board vision skills; it can also be used to improve chess.com interface accessibility.
