Never play the same game of chess again with ChessCraft! This innovative chess sandbox lets you play against an AI computer opponent or challenge your friends online. Dive into a world where you can customize chess boards, rules, and pieces to your heart's content. With 75 built-in chess boards in adventure mode and the world's largest chess variant database, the possibilities are endless.
Visit our website at https://www.chesscraft.ca to explore ChessCraft. Unlike other chess AI mobile games, ChessCraft stands out by allowing you to create and instantly play with wacky boards and pieces against a competent computer opponent.
Unleash your creativity by designing 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, create boards up to 16x16 with enabled or disabled tiles, and set unique promotion rules for any piece. Add special tile rules such as witch windows (teleporters) and sanctuaries to make your game truly unique. Our AI leverages advanced concepts from computer science and graph theory to adapt to and play against your custom creations.
When you share a board, your friends can also take on the AI challenge. Each shared board gets its own web page, like this example: https://www.chesscraft.ca/design?id=shape-variant1.
