Hi Aart,

no disrespect intended. I think 'Chess For Android' is a fantastic application and I appreciate everything you do very much. That's not the issue though. Most users here use the last version of 'Chess For Android' that could load engine binaries without apk. I know you only can support latest version though. It's a UCI protocoI handling issue. I don't know if UCI support is better in the apk only newer versions but many uci protocol engines include Quanticade do not run properly in 'Chess For Android (last non apk version). UCI chess engine compatibility is better in 'DroidFish' and 'ChessEngineTournament' apps. I observe this after compiling/testing hundreds of android chess engines.

regards,
Jim.
