Cheng3 for Android

Another engine that can be imported in Chess for Android just became available. Martin Sedlák released a new version of his engine Cheng3, and Jim Ablett kindly made a binary available for ARM-based Android devices. The engine functions well, although it responds with "no GTB found" for the Gaviota endgame tablebases, even thought the cp4 versions reside in /sdcard/gtb.


The results of a quick tournament with different engines varying in strength is shown below. Quite impressive!
