Application Description

Experience endless variety with ChessCraft, the ultimate chess sandbox that lets you play against an AI or challenge your friends online. Say goodbye to repetitive games and hello to a world where you can customize chess boards, rules, and pieces to your heart's content. With ChessCraft, you can share your unique creations online and dive into an adventure mode featuring 75 built-in chess boards. As the world's largest chess variant database, ChessCraft offers an unparalleled gaming experience.

Visit ChessCraft to explore this innovative platform. Unlike other chess AI mobile games, ChessCraft stands out by allowing you to craft wacky boards and pieces, then immediately test them against a competent computer opponent. Design new pieces using any combination of the 8 bishop or rook slides, along with a 7x7 grid of knight-like hops. You can even enhance or restrict the abilities of nearby pieces. Create boards up to 16x16 with enabled or disabled tiles, set custom promotion rules, and add special tile rules like witch windows (teleporters) and sanctuaries. The AI leverages advanced concepts from computer science and graph theory to adapt to your creations and provide a challenging match.

When you share your board, your friends can also take on the AI. Each shared board gets its own unique web page, such as this example. ChessCraft is completely free and ad-free, with the exception of 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.

Feel free to visit the website and send feedback or questions via email. If you enjoy the game, please leave a rating to support its development.
