The Chess Engines application is designed to enhance your chess gaming experience by providing a suite of powerful open-source chess engines that can be integrated into chess GUI applications. This app does not feature a standalone graphical interface; instead, it serves as a backend collection of engines that can be used with any Android chess app supporting the OEX (Open Exchange) protocol.
