**DroidFish**,
a standalone [[UCI]] compliant chess application for [[Android]] platforms by [[Peter Österlund]]. It incorporates the [[GUI]] and [[Opening Book|opening book]] code derived from [[CuckooChess]] by Peter Österlund, the CuckooChess [[Java]] chess engine, and the [[Stockfish]] chess engine by [[Tord Romstad]], [[Marco Costalba]] and [[Joona Kiiski]]. The port of Stockfish didn't involve changing the Stockfish source code, but finding a compatible [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Template_Library|STL]] implementation for Android, and compiling the source code with the correct combination of compiler flags as a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_%28computing%29|library]] which is accessed using [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Native_Interface|JNI]]  <ref>[[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?topic_view=threads&p=369715&t=35872|Re: Chess for Android with UCI support released]] by [[Peter Österlund]], [[CCC]], September 12, 2010</ref> . Further, since version **1.4**, DroidChess supports [[Gaviota Tablebases]] and includes the probing code by [[Miguel A. Ballicora]] <ref>[[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=42210|DroidFish 1.40]] by [[Peter Österlund]], [[CCC]], January 29, 2012</ref>, and since version **1.55**, [[Syzygy Bases]] <ref> [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.petero.droidfish&hl=en|DroidFish Chess - Android Apps on Google Play]]</ref>.
