Coordinates notation on the board squares?

As the title suggests, is there a way to display the coordinates notation on the board squares, similar to the image attached below? I believe it would be a helpful method for learning the squares much like how one learns a QWERTY keyboard, don't you agree?

No, there's no option for that.

Hello @DonCaliban and the Chess.com community,
I've developed a Chrome extension to display coordinates on every square!
In response to your request, I've created a Chrome extension that displays coordinates on every square of the chessboard. This extension is perfect for beginners learning algebraic notation or for anyone practicing coordinates.
Extension Features:- Coordinates displayed on every square of the chessboard
- Adjustable font size for centered coordinates
- Contrast adjustment for coordinates (from 2% to 20%)
- Highlight on hover effect that makes coordinates more visible when you mouse over a square
- "Show Only on Hover" mode that only displays the coordinate of the square being hovered over
- Option to hide Chess.com's original coordinates
- The extension uses the Impact font for better readability and automatically adapts to all chessboard sizes. It works perfectly with both board orientations (white on bottom or black on bottom).
I hope this extension will help many players improve their knowledge of coordinates!

@tiktic why does the extension need browsing history permissions?

@verySubtleBlundersAgain The Chess.com Coordinates Extension does not require browsing history permissions. Looking at the file, it only requests "activeTab", "storage", and "tabs" permissions. These are needed to interact with the current chess.com tab, save your settings (like font size and opacity preferences), and manage tabs. The extension has no need to access your browsing history and doesn't request that permission.
