Chess for Android consists of a chess engine and a GUI. The application accepts moves through the touch screen, trackball, or keyboard (e2e4 pushes the king pawn, e1g1 castles king side, etc.). An optional "move coach" highlights valid user moves during input and last played engine move. Full game navigation enables users to correct mistakes or analyze games. Games import and export as FEN/PGN to and from the clipboard or via sharing, load and save as file, or are set up through a position editor. A draw by stalemate, insufficient material, the fifty move rule, or 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.

The application supports the Universal Chess Interface (UCI) and Chess Engine Communication Protocol (WinBoard and XBoard), which allows users to play against more powerful third party engines or even play tournaments between engines. Engines are imported in Android Open Exchange format (OEX), in Android Chessbase compatible format, or directly from SD card. Engine setup features time control, pondering, infinite analysis, hash tables, multiple threads, endgame tablebases, and opening test suites.

The application connects to an external electronic chessboard (DGT, Certabo, or Millennium) and supports online play on FICS (Free Internet Chess Server) or ICC (Internet Chess Club).

Android的国际象棋由国际象棋引擎和GUI组成。该应用程序接受通过触摸屏，轨迹球或键盘进行的移动（e2e4推动国王典当，e1g1城堡国王一侧等）。可选的“移动教练”突出显示输入期间和上次播放的引擎移动过程中有效的用户移动。完整的游戏导航使用户能够纠正错误或分析游戏。游戏以FEN / PGN的形式从剪贴板导入或导出，或者通过共享，加载和另存为文件导入，或通过位置编辑器进行设置。僵局，材料不足，五十步法则或三重重复被认为是平局。引擎可以进行各种级别的播放（包括随机播放，自动播放或自由播放，其中游戏可以用作“磁性棋盘”）。用户可以在任一侧玩游戏，并且可以独立地从白色或黑色的角度观看棋盘。

该应用程序支持通用国际象棋界面（UCI）和国际象棋引擎通信协议（WinBoard和XBoard），该协议允许用户与功能更强大的第三方引擎进行比赛，甚至在引擎之间进行比赛。引擎以Android Open Exchange格式（OEX），Android Chessbase兼容格式或直接从SD卡导入。引擎设置具有时间控制，思考，无限分析，哈希表，多个线程，最终游戏表库和开放测试套件的功能。

该应用程序连接到外部电子棋盘（DGT，Certabo或Millennium），并支持FICS（免费Internet Chess服务器）或ICC（Internet Chess Club）上的在线游戏。
