ChessCraft

Experience the thrill of never playing the same game of chess twice with ChessCraft, the ultimate chess sandbox! Whether you're up against the AI or challenging your friends online, ChessCraft offers a world of possibilities. Dive into the creativity with the ability to customize chess boards, rules, and pieces, making every game uniquely yours. With 75 built-in chess boards in adventure mode and the world's largest chess variant database at your fingertips, the fun never stops. Visit us at www.chesscraft.ca.

What sets ChessCraft apart in the crowded field of chess AI mobile games is its unparalleled ability to let you craft wacky boards and unique pieces, then immediately challenge a robust computer opponent. Create new pieces using any combination of the 8 bishop or rook slides, along with a 7x7 grid of knight-like hops. These pieces can also enhance or restrict nearby pieces, adding layers of strategy. Design your boards with any enabled or disabled tile up to a 16x16 grid, and set custom promotion rules and tile effects like witch windows (teleporters) and sanctuaries. The AI leverages advanced concepts from computer science and graph theory to adapt to and compete against your innovative creations.

When you're ready to share your masterpiece, ChessCraft makes it simple. Share your board online, and your friends can dive into the fun, playing against the AI as well. Each shared board gets its own unique web page, like this: https://www.chesscraft.ca/design?id=shape-variant1.

ChessCraft is completely free and ad-free, except for occasional prompts to consider becoming a ChessCraft Patron. As a patron, you'll enjoy uninterrupted gameplay. If you're a teacher, student, or facing financial constraints, just send an email, and I'll provide you with a special code to access ChessCraft Patron.
