While many chess AI mobile games are out there, ChessCraft stands out by allowing you to craft wacky boards and pieces and instantly play against a competent computer opponent. Create 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. Design boards with any enabled or disabled tile up to 16x16, set custom promotion rules for any piece, and add tile rules like witch windows (teleporters) and sanctuaries. Our AI leverages advanced concepts from computer science and graph theory to understand and compete against your imaginative setups.

When you share a board, your friends can take on the AI too. Each shared board gets its own web page, like this: https://www.chesscraft.ca/design?id=shape-variant1.

ChessCraft is fully accessible and free, with no ads interrupting your play, except for occasional popups inviting you to become a ChessCraft Patron. As a patron, you'll enjoy an uninterrupted experience. If you're a teacher, student, or simply can't afford the patron status, just send us an email, and we'll provide you with a special code.
