Is there an easy way to memorize chess pieces and coordinates?

I see and hear people who can play chess by naming piece locations on the board. (Queen's knight to Kings rook etc.) Is there an easy way to memorize these and keep track, or is this the kind of thing only found when fictional geniuses start talking chess?|||No. There is no easy method. You don't need to be a genius, you just need to be willing to work and practice..


And by the way, the all modern books and most players now use "algebraic" notation. Which is different that the "descriptive" notation in your examples.
