Best 5 Chess Android Apps



1. Chess.comThe app allows you to easily play live and daily chess, to solve puzzles, and to watch videos. It's not as richly featured as the chess.com site is, but the new beta version is bringing many, many more features to the app.






2. Follow Chess - This app allows you to follow lots of major super tournaments live and support was just added to easily view all previous rounds of a tournament. The UI is gorgeous and unique, and the games can easily be passed over to Analyze This for engine analysis.







3. Chess Book StudySimply reading a Chess book without a Chess board is not easy. The app allows you to load in any chess book in pdf or epub format and play through the material with a split screen chess board. Not many people have pdf or epub chess books, but if you do, this is a must have app.



4. DroidFish Chess - DroidFish is an Android port of the very strong Stockfish chess engine, combined with a feature-rich GUI.  It is a very powerful, free engine. While it may not have the prettiest interface, it works very well and is quite full featured.


5. ChessOcr - This app utilizes the camera to recognize Chess Diagrams in books using optical character recognition (OCR). It allows you to use your phone to scan a chess diagram (book or computer screen) and import it into one of your other chess programs for saving or analysis. It is remarkably accurate and only takes seconds.
