About this game

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 17.1 - https://stockfishchess.org/blog/2025/stockfish-17-1/
• Stockfish 17 - https://stockfishchess.org/blog/2024/stockfish-17/
• Clover 7.0 https://github.com/lucametehau/CloverEngine

Recommended Chess GUIs:
• Analyze your Chess (free) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lucian.musca.chess.analyzeyourchess&hl=en
• 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.

As an avid Chess player I use Stockfish with my GUIs and I am often needing to upgrade SF to the most up to date version of this amazing Chess engine. The best way to do this is with an OEX APK engine app. The Chess world owes Lucian a real debt of thanks for creating and keeping up to date this Engines app, so that we can continue to utilise the power of Stockfish! 👏🏻 Three cheers for Lucian!

139 mb waste Why is that?After downloading this app, a link to another app will appear, For that, you can directly download that app in play store. So I don't like this app

Hi, there is nothing deceiving about the app. The app is a companion app that provides chess engines for other chess GUI apps, which is clearly mentioned in the app description. The Stockfish engine is state of the art and it packs NNUE files that are large, hence the size of the app.
