DownloadTransform your chess experience with ChessCraft, a dynamic chess sandbox where creativity meets strategy. With ChessCraft, you're not just playing; you're crafting unique chess games. Customize your chess boards, invent new rules, and design novel pieces, then challenge the sophisticated AI computer opponent or your friends online. Dive into adventure mode with one of the 75 built-in chess boards or explore the world's largest chess variant database. Visit ChessCraft to start your journey.
Unlike other chess AI mobile games, ChessCraft stands out by allowing you to create and immediately play with your wacky boards and pieces against a capable computer opponent. Design new pieces using any combination of the 8 bishop or rook slides and a 7x7 grid of knight-like hops. You can also enhance or restrict nearby pieces, creating complex interactions. Craft boards up to 16x16, with any tile enabled or disabled. Set custom promotion rules for any piece and introduce unique tile rules such as witch windows (teleporters) and sanctuaries. The AI leverages advanced concepts from computer science and graph theory to adapt to and challenge your creations.
When you're ready to share your masterpiece, ChessCraft generates a unique web page for your design, like this, allowing your friends to play against the AI on your board. ChessCraft is fully accessible and free, with no ads, aside from occasional popups inviting you to become a ChessCraft Patron. Patrons enjoy an uninterrupted experience. If you're a teacher, student, or facing financial constraints, reach out via email for a special access code.
We value your feedback and questions, so don't hesitate to visit the website and send an email. If you enjoy the game, we'd appreciate your rating!
