Dive into the world of endless chess possibilities with ChessCraft, the ultimate chess sandbox experience. Whether you're challenging the AI or battling it out with friends online, you'll never play the same game of chess twice. With ChessCraft, you can customize chess boards, rules, and pieces to your heart's content. Share your innovative creations online and explore one of the 75 built-in chess boards in adventure mode. As the world's largest chess variant database, ChessCraft offers a unique platform for both casual and serious players.
While many chess AI mobile games are available, ChessCraft stands out by allowing you to craft wildly imaginative boards and pieces and then pit them against a sophisticated computer opponent. Design new pieces by combining the traditional 8 bishop or rook slides with a 7x7 grid of knight-like hops. Your creations can even enhance or restrict nearby pieces. Construct new boards with any combination of enabled or disabled tiles, scaling up to 16x16. Customize promotion rules for any piece, anywhere, and add special tile rules such as witch windows (teleporters) and sanctuaries. The AI, leveraging concepts from computer science and graph theory, intelligently adapts to your unique setups to provide a challenging match.
When you share your board, your friends can take on the AI as well. Each shared board gets its own dedicated web page, like this one: [ttpp]https://www.chesscraft.ca/design?id=shape-variant1[yyxx].
ChessCraft is completely free and ad-free, with the exception of occasional pop-ups inviting you to become a ChessCraft Patron. Patrons enjoy an uninterrupted experience. If you're a teacher, student, or facing financial constraints, simply send an email to receive a special access code.
