| The Chess Notation lesson[0] from Lichess was really helpful when I was learning the notation a few years ago. If you have a physical chessboard it can also help to try to play out a game from it’s notation and stop every few moves to check your board’s state against the state of the actual game. I spent a couple of afternoons doing this and it stuck. You can refresh with some Chess Vision training[1] from Chess.com. If you are interested in learning or reading more about chess, it is worth learning Portable Game Notation[2] (PGN). If you’re interested from a more programmatic perspective the Forsyth–Edwards Notation[3] (FEN) is more common in software, and there’s also the Universal Chess Interface[4] (UCI) format that is mostly used for communicating with engines.
