Chess Engines

The Chess Engines application is designed to enhance your chess experience by providing a collection of powerful, open-source chess engines that can be seamlessly integrated into chess GUI applications. This app does not include its own graphical interface and is meant to be used in conjunction with a compatible chess GUI that supports the OEX (Open Exchange) protocol.

Included in this application are the following highly regarded chess engines, available as native executables:

• Stockfish 17 - The latest version of this renowned engine, offering cutting-edge performance and analysis. Learn more at Stockfish 17.
• Stockfish 16.1 - A strong predecessor to Stockfish 17, known for its reliability and depth of analysis. More details at Stockfish 16.1.
• Clover 7.0 - An open-source chess engine that brings unique strategies to the table. Check it out on GitHub.

To make the most of these engines, we recommend pairing them with one of the following chess GUIs:

• Analyze your Chess (free) - A user-friendly GUI that allows you to delve into your chess games and improve your skills. Available on Google Play.
• Analyze your Chess Pro (paid) - Offers advanced features for a more in-depth analysis experience. You can find it on Google Play.

To integrate the chess engines with these GUIs, simply navigate to the Engine Management Screen, access the Overflow Menu, and select Install Open Exchange Engine. From there, you can choose and install the desired chess engine(s).
