How I Installed Chess.com on Amazon Fire 7 Tablet



First you need to change a setting on the tablet. Goto Settings (swipe down from the top and tap the little gear) - Security & Privacy - and turn on "Apps from Unknown Sources".

Next you need the Android install file called an apk file. To get this you can install the Chrome browser app "APK downloader" in the Chrome webstore.

It will generate a QR code you can scan into your tablet.

Or you can skip this step and scan the one below.


I used the Kindle app "QR & Barcode Scanner". By Gamma Play.com As soon as it finishes the option to open / run the file will appear for a few seconds. Click and install / open the file. If you miss it you can start over or go find the file on your device and run it from there. In the download folder. When it opens input your user name and password for Chess.com and your setup is complete.
