Chess for Android now supports XBoard too

Postby abik » 13 Oct 2011, 00:31

Version 3.0.1 of Chess for Android is available at the Android market and as direct download. It introduces the first, albeit very simple support for the Chess Engine Communication Protocol (aka XBoard/WinBoard). Many features already supported for UCI (e.g. options setup, infinite analysis) as well as some XBoard specific features (e.g. resign) are still missing for this first version of XBoard support. Nevertheless, it is already possible to run tournaments between engines (same or different protocols). In upcoming releases, I hope to further refine XBoard features, but early feedback is welcome.
