While many chess AI mobile games are available, ChessCraft stands out by allowing you to design wacky boards and pieces, and immediately challenge a competent AI opponent. Create new pieces by combining any of the 8 bishop or rook slides with a 7x7 grid of knight-like hops. You can also enhance or restrict the abilities of nearby pieces. Design new boards with enabled or disabled tiles up to 16x16, and set promotion rules and special tile rules like witch windows (teleporters) and sanctuaries. The AI uses advanced computer science and graph theory to understand and compete on your custom creations.
When you share your board, your friends can also play against the AI. Each shared board gets its own unique webpage, like this example: https://www.chesscraft.ca/design?id=shape-variant1.
ChessCraft is completely free and ad-free, with only occasional popups prompting you to consider becoming a ChessCraft Patron. As a patron, you'll enjoy uninterrupted gameplay. If you're a teacher, student, or facing financial constraints, simply email us for a special access code.
