The Chess Engines application is designed to enhance your chess experience by providing a robust set of chess engines that can be integrated into various chess GUI applications. This application is not meant to be used on its own, as it does not come with a graphical user interface. Instead, it serves as a powerful backend, enabling any Android chess app that supports the OEX (Open Exchange) protocol to leverage its capabilities.
Within this application, you'll find a curated collection of native executables from some of the most respected open-source chess engines available today:
- Stockfish 17 - For the latest in chess engine technology, visit Stockfish 17.
- Stockfish 16.1 - Explore the previous version at Stockfish 16.1.
- Clover 7.0 - Dive into this innovative engine at Clover 7.0.
To fully enjoy these engines, we recommend pairing them with compatible chess GUI apps. Our top picks include:
- Analyze your Chess (free) - A free option that provides a comprehensive analysis tool.
- Analyze your Chess Pro (paid) - For those seeking advanced features, this paid version is the way to go.
To integrate these powerful engines with your chosen GUI, simply navigate to the Engine Management Screen, access the Overflow Menu, and select 'Install Open Exchange Engine'. From there, you can choose and install your preferred chess engine(s).
