Stockfish on ChessBase on Android

Post by Paul McKeown » Mon Aug 12, 2024 4:30 pm

ChessBase on Android seems to come with Stockfish 8. Has anyone managed to install a later version of Stockfish (say the current 16.1) on ChessBase on Android? Asking, as I don't seem to be able to?

I've noticed that the CB engine installer (Create UCI Engine / Engine Management) does not produce an error message when one attempts to install an incompatible engine.

It allows one to click OK but then nothing useful happens.

This happened to me when attempting to install 16.1 -avx2.exe on an elderly HP laptop compared with 16.1 -popcnt.exe which installed OK

On a more modern HP laptop the same steps allowed both to install.


This was on Windows 10 and is probably not a helpful comment but it might suggest something!
