'''Chess for Android''', <br/>
written by [[Aart Bik]], is a standalone chess application for [[Android]]. The application is available for free at the Android Market <ref>[https://market.android.com/developer?pub=Aart+Bik Android Market - Apps by Aart Bik]</ref> or as direct download <ref>[http://www.aartbik.com/MISC/DATA/Chess.apk Download Chess for Android]</ref> and consists of a chess engine (a [[Java]] version derived from the [[:Category:UCI Engines|UCI engine]] [[BikJump]] that is written in [[Cpp|C++]]) and a [[GUI]].
=Features=
Games import and export as [[Forsyth-Edwards Notation|FEN]]/[[Portable Game Notation|PGN]] to and from the clipboard, load and save as file, are set up through a position editor, or import as application/x-chess-pgn MIME type on startup. A draw by [[Stalemate|stalemate]], [[Material#InsufficientMaterial|insufficient material]], the [[Fifty-move Rule|fifty move rule]], or [[Repetitions|threefold repetition]] is recognized. The engine plays at various levels (including random, against itself in auto-play, or free-play, where the game can be used as a "magnetic chessboard"). The user can play either side and, independently, view the board from the perspective of white or black.
