Chess Engines APK Description
The Chess Engines application serves as a companion to a chess GUI application and is not intended for standalone use.
It lacks a graphical user interface, functioning solely as a collection of chess engines.
These engines can be employed by any Android chess application that offers a GUI for interacting with the chess engine through the OEX (Open Exchange) protocol.
The application bundles native executables for the following open source chess engines:
• Stockfish 16 - https://stockfishchess.org/blog/2023/stockfish-16/
• Stockfish 15.1 - https://stockfishchess.org/blog/2022/stockfish-15-1/

• Analyze your Chess Pro (paid) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lucian.musca.chess.analyzeyourchess.pro&hl=en
To utilize the chess engine with the aforementioned GUIs, navigate to the Engine Management Screen > Overflow Menu > Install Open Exchange Engine . From there, select the desired chess engine(s) for installation.
