Because not all Android devices support the Android Market yet, I have made Chess for Android also available as direct download on my website. A list of UCI engines (ARM binaries) that can be imported in Chess for Android (including a UCI client program that can connect to a remote chess server) can be found at UCI engines for Android.

Hi,
Thanks for your great work.
Would it be possible to have the options in the settings:
Make a sound (a piece sound would be great, but just a beep would also be Okay) after the move: it give a physical feedback with the tactile screen and when playing at 30 sec/move or 1min/move, you don't have to watch the screen constantly to see whether the engine has played or not.
Show/hide evaluation and/or the 1st line during a game
Thanks again.

The only problem I have, is that I can't change the settings in the engine menu (stockfish and robo):
Hash table: I can change, no problem
TB cache: I can't change the value (off by default) (nalimov tb installed in sdcard/tb)
limit Elo: I can't change the value (off by default)
I don't know if it's a known bug or related to the engines features.

Options or option values that are unsupported by the selected UCI engines are greyed out and cannot be selected. In this case, tablebases and limit ELO are unsupported by stockfish/robbo. If you download other engines, you will see that some of these support Nalimov/Gaviota/Scorpio tablebases and/or the Limit ELO option.Bidibulle wrote:The only problem I have, is that I can't change the settings in the engine menu (stockfish and robo)
Thanks for your other suggestions.
Version 2.8.2. of Chess for Android adds support for setting up UCI engines with parallel search (multi-core Android devices are becoming more widespread).
