Are you ready to revolutionize your chess experience? With ChessCraft, you'll never play the same game of chess again! This innovative chess sandbox lets you battle against an AI computer opponent or challenge your friends online. Dive into the world of ChessCraft, where you can customize chess boards, rules, and pieces to your heart's content. Share your unique creations online or choose from one of the 75 built-in chess boards in adventure mode. ChessCraft proudly holds the title of the world's largest chess variant database.

Visit us at www.chesscraft.ca to start your journey.

While many chess AI mobile games are available, ChessCraft stands out by allowing you to craft wacky boards and pieces and immediately test them against a competent computer opponent. Create new pieces by combining any of the 8 bishop or rook slides with a 7x7 grid of knight-like hops. You can even enhance or restrict nearby pieces. Design new boards with any enabled or disabled tile up to 16x16, set promotion rules for any piece anywhere, and implement tile rules like witch windows (teleporters), sanctuaries, and more. The AI, powered by advanced concepts from computer science and graph theory, will adapt and play against your creations seamlessly.

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

ChessCraft is fully accessible and ad-free, with the exception of occasional popups encouraging you to become a ChessCraft Patron. As a patron, you'll enjoy an uninterrupted experience. If you're a teacher, student, or if you can't afford the patronage, simply send an email, and I'll provide you with a special code.

Feel free to visit the website and send an email with any feedback or questions. If you enjoy the game, please leave a rating!
