Name the move
The board marks one move, from and to. Write it the way chess writes it.
What it trains
Reading and writing moves without translating them. Notation is how chess is recorded, taught and discussed, and the part people get wrong is not the letters: it is which piece a move has to name when two of them can go to the same square.
How to use it
The board shows a position from a real game and marks one move, from and to. You write that move, and the answer is graded against the one spelling the rules allow.
The moves are not dealt at random. Only about 3% of the moves played in a real game have to say which piece moved, so a random run would almost never ask for one, and the drill weights the draw towards the moves that carry a rule. It still deals ordinary ones, because always adding a letter is wrong too: over the games here it works out at roughly a quarter disambiguation, half captures, a tenth castling and a seventh plain moves.
