About Chess for Android
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 buttons enable 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. Engine setup features time control, pondering, infinite analysis, hash tables, multiple threads, endgame tablebases, and opening test suites. Recognizes Chessbase compatible engines.

That's right i doubt it if any human dead or alive -GM of course -stands any chance against this Monster!...the engine that came with it is relatively weak but import Komodo and see if you can win 1 game/100 ?...(no cheating!)Amigo if so even Alekhine himself will come back n pat you on your back

When the computer can force a 3 fold rep by moving to a square 3 times over 10 moves, yet has other options that it doesn't want to take, that is VERY poor programming. A human player can not do the same in this app. Fix it and I will fix my rating

It's pretty good. Graphics could be better. Wonder how hard would it be to implement a Bluetooth multiplayer mode because that would make this app unrivalled considering there aren't any other offering this either as far as I've looked.

This is a rare species of app! A app that is good, actually works, and does more than you wanted. But what is actually amazing is that it is free! And by free I mean truly free! No ads, no in app purchases! When it comes to the basics this is a perfect app.

GUI could use help, author states ability to use other engines or load/save games or set up the board. I don't have any of these options on my tablet.

Thanks for making this lightweight and free game. Maybe computer is too strong. My ELO is 1700 and I can't beat computer on 2nd level. Also I'd like to see captured pieces.

Could we get draw adjudication (eval 0 for both engines after certain number of moves) for tournaments?
by K####:
The pieces are ugly, and the engine plays excessively strongly on Level 1. The level numbers don't mean much if they represent thinking time but not playing strength.
