It worked. But that's definitely not very user friendly. Could you make a patch that displays the starting board position? You might also display a "header" at the top and along the left side to show the column and row notation. Probably something similar to what I showed on the latest C programming video, about an extended ASCII table of the printable characters:

That would be more complicated to do, because you need to validate the possible move as the user selects a new position to move to. But that would be much friendlier to the user. But that's just my 2cents on user-friendly.
