Chess Engines OEX 2.1, Stockfish Engines OEX 2.2

I have updated my chess engine apps:

Chess Engines OEX

Stockfish Engines OEX

The following chess apps support the Open Exchange protocol (OEX):

Chess for All

Droidfish

Scid on the go

Chess for Android

Chess

Sreenshots:

Chess for All 2.0

ChessForAll 2.0 is a powerful update. The user interface has been completely redesigned, the chess engine is now intergrated into the app, the PGN processing improved...

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The apps "Stockfish Chess" and "Chess Engines" are no longer needed and can be uninstalled.

I therefore recommend to read the user manual at first.

Should you nevertheless get problems, please report.

Have fun
