Experience endless variety with ChessCraft, the ultimate chess sandbox that revolutionizes your gameplay. Whether you're looking to challenge the AI, battle your friends online, or dive into adventure mode with one of 75 unique chess boards, ChessCraft offers a fresh twist on the classic game. Customize your chess boards, rules, and pieces to create wacky and innovative variants. Share your creations with the world through personalized web pages, like this: https://www.chesscraft.ca/design?id=shape-variant1. As the world's largest chess variant database, ChessCraft ensures you'll never play the same game twice.

Unlike other chess AI mobile games, ChessCraft stands out by allowing you to instantly play against a competent computer opponent with your custom boards and pieces. Craft new pieces by combining the 8 bishop or rook slides and a 7x7 grid of knight-like hops. Enhance or restrict nearby pieces, and design boards up to 16x16 with enabled or disabled tiles. Set promotion rules and add special tile features like witch windows (teleporters) and sanctuaries. The AI uses cutting-edge computer science and graph theory to adapt to your creative designs and provide a challenging match.

ChessCraft is completely free and ad-free, with the exception of occasional prompts to become 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 for a special code to access ChessCraft Patron benefits.
