The Chess Engines application is designed to enhance your chess gaming experience by providing a collection of powerful OEX chess engines, which can be integrated into various chess GUI applications on Android devices. This app does not feature a standalone graphical user interface; instead, it serves as a backend resource for other chess applications that support the OEX (Open Exchange) protocol.
Included in this application are native executables for the following renowned open-source chess engines:
- Stockfish 17 - Known for its high performance and constant updates, Stockfish 17 is one of the leading chess engines available. Learn more about it at Stockfish 17.

- Clover 7.0 - Another strong contender in the chess engine arena, Clover 7.0 provides unique analysis capabilities. Visit its GitHub page for more information at Clover 7.0.
To make the most out of these engines, we recommend using them with the following chess GUIs:
- Analyze your Chess (free) - A user-friendly chess analysis tool available on the Google Play Store at Analyze your Chess.
- Analyze your Chess Pro (paid) - Offers advanced features for a more in-depth chess analysis, available at Analyze your Chess Pro.
To integrate these engines with the recommended GUIs, follow these steps:
