Chess for android is good. Easy to play engine vs engine matches. And can run uci and winboard engines.

I maintain a manual for Chess for Android on my website (see here).

You can run either a round-robin or a gauntlet tournament between two or more engines. Here you have the choice between10 games with random opening lines from the built-in book, 100 games from both sides of 50 pre-selected opening lines from the built-in book, or all games from both sides of an external book in PGN format, such as the "Nunn Positions" or "Silver Opening Suite". You can also make your own small suite in PGN format with just a few opening lines, and play with these.

Hope this helps.
