ChessCraft

Ready to transform your chess experience? With ChessCraft, you'll never play the same game twice! This innovative chess sandbox lets you face off against an AI computer opponent while customizing everything from the chess board to the pieces themselves. Whether you're battling friends online or diving into one of the 75 pre-built adventure mode boards, ChessCraft opens up a world of possibilities. And with the world's largest chess variant database at your fingertips, the fun never stops!

Visit ChessCraft to start your journey into the realm of chess like never before. Unlike other chess AI mobile games, ChessCraft empowers you to design wacky boards and unique pieces, then instantly challenge a capable computer opponent.

Unleash your creativity by designing new pieces with combinations of bishop and rook slides, or utilize a 7x7 grid of knight-like hops. Enhance or restrict nearby pieces for added strategic depth. Craft boards up to 16x16, with tiles that can be enabled or disabled. Set custom promotion rules and add special tile features such as witch windows (teleporters) and sanctuaries. Our sophisticated AI, powered by cutting-edge computer science and graph theory, will adapt to your creations and offer a formidable challenge.

When you're ready to share your masterpiece, ChessCraft generates a unique web page for you. For example, check out this design at https://www.chesscraft.ca/design?id=shape-variant1. Your friends can jump in and play against the AI on your custom board too!

ChessCraft is completely free and ad-free, with the exception of occasional pop-ups inviting you to become a ChessCraft Patron. As a patron, you'll enjoy uninterrupted gameplay. If you're a teacher, student, or simply can't afford the patron subscription, just send an email, and I'll provide you with a special code.

Feel free to visit the website and drop me an email with any feedback or questions. If you enjoy the game, a rating would be greatly appreciated!
