LCO for mobile phone android advise

[PeterO]

Hello chessfriends,

I have NEVER tryed LC0
Now I want to run it on my mobile phone - android 9 - 64 - using „Chess for Android“

I think I need 2 things - right?
1. the engine - link
2. the weights - link

Which weights do you recomend? I want it to play it 1600 - 1800 human Elo (yes I am so weak

Thanks for advice

Peter

(not only the lc0 Android downloads, but many useful hints and links, too)...

(I use DroidFish, lc0 runs without any problems in it and Droidfish looks much nicer than ChessforAndroid).

And try some of D.Kappe Gyal-networks, which are weaker.

Thanks for your answer!
Worked great - immediately.
I prefer Chess for Android - you can use it with „Chessgenius Excusive“ - a beautiful wooden board (chesscomputer).

Peter,
Thanks for your loyalty to CfA, much appreciated! Also, I am really glad it is working for you now, but didn't you ask the same question a while back where I gave almost an identical answer as the one above? Note that the only thing that changed since then is that CfA now has full UCI options support, so you no longer need to do the trick by "installing" the weight file. More improvements are in the making where you can save the same engine under different names with different option settings.

Hi Aart,

you are right - good memory! When I read your description I had an old mobile phone/android system and decided to wait.
Now I have a new one So I decided to give it a try. However I was surprised how easy it worked!

„More improvements are in the making where you can save the same engine under different names with different option settings.“

That sounds very promising! Can‘t wait to try it!

Whats "Chessgenius Exclusive" does LC0 now work in Chess Genius for android? Or are you using a chessgenius board in chess for android? Thx AR

I answered my own question... is Chess Genius now working with windows 64?

[PeterO]

Hi,

The Chessgenius Exclusive consists of 2 parts:
1. A beautiful wooden board (with leds)
2. The chesscomputer modul

Instead of the chesscomputer modul you can link it with the chesslink modul (€ 99,-)

Now your wooden chessboard has bluetooth! You can connect it with Aart Biks app „Chess for Android“
Watch the video!



Hope I could help you!
