On a Chess board the squares are identified by rank and file. The vertical files are labled a through h from White's left to right, the ranks are numbered 1 through 8 starting from the white side of the board toward the black pieces. Therefore the E indicates the 5th file from the White players left and 4 indicates the 4th rank. Since no capital letter precedes this move notation the move e4 indicates that a pawn was moved to that square.
