Chess Engines

The Chess Engines application is a powerful toolkit designed to enhance your chess experience by providing a comprehensive suite of chess engines that can be seamlessly integrated into various chess GUI applications. This application is specifically crafted to work alongside a chess GUI app and is not intended for standalone use. Instead, it acts as a backend powerhouse, offering a robust set of chess engines that can be leveraged by any Android chess application that supports the OEX (Open Exchange) protocol.

The core functionality of the Chess Engines application lies in its ability to bundle native executables from several top-tier open-source chess engines. These include:

• Stockfish 17: One of the most advanced chess engines available, featuring significant improvements over its predecessors. Learn more
• Stockfish 16.1: A highly competitive chess engine known for its strategic depth and computational power. Learn more
• Clover 7.0: An innovative open-source chess engine developed by Luca Metehau. Explore the project on GitHub

To integrate these engines into your preferred chess GUI application, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Engine Management Screen within your chosen chess GUI app.
2. Access the Overflow Menu and select Install Open Exchange Engine.
3. Choose the desired chess engine(s) from the list provided and proceed with the installation.

We recommend using one of the following high-quality chess GUI applications to fully leverage the capabilities of the Chess Engines application:

• Analyze your Chess (free): A free option that offers an intuitive interface for analyzing your chess games. Download on Google Play
• Analyze your Chess Pro (paid): A premium version with additional features and support, perfect for serious chess enthusiasts. Download on Google Play

By combining the Chess Engines application with one of these recommended GUIs, you'll have access to a formidable chess analysis toolset, enhancing your gameplay and understanding of the game.
