Rotor on Android

[Jan Brouwer]

If you want to have a fighting change against a chess program, why not try Rotor on your Android phone?

Kudos to Aart Bik for providing Chess for Android with the ability to import UCI based engines.

Thanks Jan! Nice to see more engines appear for Android. I have updated my list at http://www.aartbik.com/MISC/eng.html. Below, the results of a few matches against other UCI engines on a Nexus One (1GHz Snapdragon), one second-per-move, 16MB Hash, and Nalimov/Gaviota/Scorpio endgame tablebases on SD card.

Great, Jan!

I hope we will get to see more chess engines for Android! It's awesome GUI designed by Aart!

Best wishes,
