Does anyone know of an open source chess app? I searched on F-Droid and didn't find any, only some chess clocks.

Isnt lichess open source. Pretty sure it is?

I thought that by its own description "free online chess" was exclusively an online chess app, thanks for the suggestion.

Exercises on lichess are one of my favorite ways to kill time. Haven't played a real game in years but I love the low pressure of running through little scenarios, even if I can't always grasp why the computer thinks a particular line is optimal lol

(And you can do a bunch of them offline)

What were you looking to do with it mostly? Lichess is good for learning (puzzles, ranked matches, etc), and for offline analysis and local play, I recommend DroidFish. It's ui is a bit archaic, but in a good way. It's got a pretty full feature set, and the stockfish engine is excellent.

Droidfish looks great, I don't understand how I didn't find the app before, thanks.
