Experience endless variety with ChessCraft, the ultimate chess sandbox that lets you play against an AI or challenge your friends online. Never settle for the same old game of chess again! With ChessCraft, you can customize chess boards, rules, and pieces to create unique gameplay experiences. Share your innovative creations online or choose from one of the 75 built-in chess boards in adventure mode. Dive into the world's largest chess variant database and let your creativity soar!

Visit ChessCraft to start your journey. Unlike other chess AI mobile games, ChessCraft stands out by allowing you to design wacky boards and pieces and immediately challenge a sophisticated computer opponent. Craft new pieces using any combination of the 8 bishop or rook slides, along with a 7x7 grid of knight-like hops. You can also enhance or restrict nearby pieces, design boards with up to 16x16 tiles, and set custom promotion rules and tile rules like witch windows (teleporters) and sanctuaries. The AI leverages concepts from computer science and graph theory to understand and play against your unique creations.

When you share a board, your friends can also take on the AI. Each shared board gets its own unique web page, like this: ChessCraft Design. ChessCraft is completely free and ad-free, except for occasional popups inviting you to become a ChessCraft Patron. As a patron, you'll enjoy uninterrupted gameplay. If you're a teacher, student, or facing financial constraints, simply send an email for a special access code.

For any feedback or questions, feel free to visit the website and send an email. If you enjoy the game, please leave a rating to support its development!
