Chess Engines Package for Android
Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2015 12:29 am
I just released a new chess engine package for Android with Chessbase compatible engines. This format greatly simplifies engine install. Simply install the APK and the engines are directly available for import in any GUI that supports this format, such as Chess for Android.
The update includes binaries that should run on Lollipop as well as on prior versions, with updates to the latest engine versions available. Also, the package now includes x86 binaries in addition to the arm binaries, so that it also works on x86-based devices such as Google TV.
Unfortunately, I could not reach Vaclav and Jan in time, so Virutor and Rotor are not part of this update. Happy to add this later. If you encounter issues, or you are an engine author that would like to include your engine in this pacakge, please drop me a private note.
