Ah, and I forgot to add, the built-in network engine support is just for user convenience. Earlier, PJ+ already wrote a network utility that effectively presents itself as an engine to Chess for Android, but really just makes a connection to a remote chess server under water. The setup is a little elaborate, but only has to be done once if the connection parameters do not change.

PJ+ used this approach to connect Chess for Android to a remote chess server with Houdini, yielding over 25,000KNs "on" a smart phone.
