Android Chess Engines Tournaments

Chess for Android is a chess application for the Android platform that supports the Universal Chess Interface (UCI) and Chess Engine Communication Protocol (often simply called the XBoard or WinBoard protocol). This feature allows replacing the built-in Java chess engine with more powerful third party engines. Users can either play an imported engine directly, use infinite analysis to study games, or even run tournaments between engines (UCI and XBoard Protocols for Android). This page presents the results of such tournaments.

2015 Tournament

The tournament was planned to stress test the new time controls of Chess for Android. Where applicable, UCI engines were given an 32MB hash table and 8MB endgame tablebases cache (the complete 3- and 4-piece Nalimov, Gaviota, Scorpio, and Robbobases endgame tablebases reside on SD card). XBoard engines played at their default settings. Engines were only allowed to use one thread, but with "pondering" enabled.

Test Tournaments

A test tournaments played from both sides of the Nunn opening suite using time control 40/60.

2013 Tournament

The tournament was conducted on a Nexus 7 (1.3 GHz quad-core Cortex-A9). Where applicable, UCI engines were given an 16MB hash table and 1MB endgame tablebases cache (the complete 3- and 4-piece Nalimov, Gaviota, Scorpio, and Robbobases endgame tablebases reside on SD card). XBoard engines played at their default settings. If supported, engines were allowed to use 4 threads, but with "pondering" disabled. Most engines below are compiled directly for ARMv5TE. The only exception is the built-in engine of Chess for Android, which runs on the Dalvik Virtual Machine (nowadays ART).

2011 Tournament

The tournament was conducted on a Nexus One (1GHz Snapdragon). Where applicable, UCI engines were given an 8MB hash table and 1MB endgame tablebases cache (the complete 3- and 4-piece Nalimov, Gaviota, Scorpio, and Robbobases endgame tablebases reside on SD card). XBoard engines played at their default settings. Since the Nexus One is a single-core device, "pondering" was disabled. Most engines below are compiled directly for ARMv5TE. The only exception is the built-in engine of Chess for Android, which runs on the Dalvik Virtual Machine (nowadays ART).

Group A

Thirty seconds-per-move tournament played from both sides of all positions in the Nunn opening suite (download all games)..
Komodo2 was updated to Komodo2.03 per Don Dailey's request.
Congratulations to Richard Vida for Critter's victory in this tournament!

Group B

Thirty seconds-per-move tournament played from both sides of all positions in the Nunn opening suite (download all games). Regrettably Crafty was put at a slight disadvantage (not outcome-changing though) due to a misinterpretation of XBoard's resign plus move command, causing a resign by illegal move in some games. This issue has been fixed now.
Congratulations to IvanHoe for its promotion to Group A.
