Displays algebraic square labels (a1–h8) directly on the chessboard, with adjustable opacity and a draggable control panel.
This userscript displays algebraic square labels (a1–h8) directly on the Chess.com board.
The labels are rendered inside each square, automatically adjust when the board is flipped, and apply different opacity settings for dark and light squares.
The script is strictly visual-only and does not interact with gameplay, moves, clocks, or analysis.
When enabled, a draggable control panel appears that lets you:
The panel position is saved automatically.
If you want labels without the UI panel, edit the script and set:
const customize = false;
When the UI panel is disabled, square labels would still appear but the panel won't show up again.
Thankfully, nope. I confirmed with a moderator on the forums before I published this script, feel free to use it and it shouldn't be accounted for cheating. Here is the proof of the moderator approving this script:
