Description
Chess for Android consists of a chess engine and a GUI. The application accepts moves through the touch screen, trackball, or keyboard (e2e4 pushes the king pawn, e1g1 castles king side, etc.). An optional "move coach" highlights valid user moves during input and last played engine move. Full game navigation enables users to correct mistakes or analyze games. Games import and export as FEN/PGN to and from the clipboard or via sharing, load and save as file, or are set up through a position editor. A draw by stalemate, insufficient material, the fifty move rule, or threefold repetition is recognized. The engine plays at various levels (including random, against itself in auto-play, or free-play, where the game can be used as a "magnetic chessboard"). The user can play either side and, independently, view the board from the perspective of white or black.The application supports the Universal Chess Interface (UCI) and Chess Engine Communication Protocol (WinBoard and XBoard), which allows users to play against more powerful third party engines or even play tournaments between engines. Engines are imported in Android Open Exchange format (OEX), in Android Chessbase compatible format, or directly from SD card. Engine setup features time control, pondering, infinite analysis, hash tables, multiple threads, endgame tablebases, and opening test suites.The application connects to an external electronic chessboard (DGT, Certabo, or Millennium) and supports online play on FICS (Free Internet Chess Server) or ICC (Internet Chess Club).Online manual at:https://www.aartbik.com/android_manual.phpPERMISSION NOTES:You can freely disable permissions you dont want to grant, the rest of the application will continue to work:+ Storage (Files and Media): only required when you want to load and save games to SD Card+ Location: only required if you want to connect to DGT Pegasus, which requires a Bluetooth LE scan(1) DGT Pegasus support(2) Certabo Bluetooth support(3) engine tablebases path under API30+

I have tried many apps. But honestly this is THE best chess app out there. Thank you so much for this Aart.
Excellent App! You should think of integrating Square Off Pro as well...
Great! 🤩 So far, this is the best. Small app but it has the basics that are essential to enjoy the chess game. I don't know why some still give it bad reviews🙄. And for those who say it's extremely difficult, know this, I've won a good number of times. Good job Aart! 👍
Excellent app, Can I request for two more features? An auto play switch for pgn games. And an arrow for best move during analyze. It'ill still be OK if the app size crosses 2mb zise .. thanks in Advance..
Good
Played chess for years, this app is insanely hard. It's just not fun. Uninstalling. I have gotten close once on level 1.
