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

- Stockfish 17 - The latest iteration of this renowned engine, offering advanced chess analysis capabilities. Learn more at Stockfish 17.
- Stockfish 16.1 - A slightly older but still highly effective version of Stockfish. Details available at Stockfish 16.1.
- Clover 7.0 - A robust engine that can provide competitive analysis. Explore more at Clover 7.0.
To get the most out of these engines, we recommend using them with the following chess GUIs:
- Analyze your Chess (free) - Available on the Google Play Store at Analyze your Chess.
- Analyze your Chess Pro (paid) - Enhance your experience with the pro version, available at Analyze your Chess Pro.
