While many chess AI mobile games exist, ChessCraft stands out by allowing you to create wacky boards and pieces and immediately challenge a competent computer opponent. Design new pieces with any combination of the 8 bishop or rook slides, plus a 7x7 grid of knight-like hops. You can also enhance or restrict nearby pieces, create new boards with enabled or disabled tiles up to 16x16, and set custom promotion and tile rules, including witch windows (teleporters) and sanctuaries. Our computer AI opponent leverages advanced concepts from computer science and graph theory to understand and play against your innovative creations.

When you share a board, your friends can also take on the AI. Sharing creates a unique web page for your design, such as https://www.chesscraft.ca/design?id=shape-variant1.

ChessCraft is free and ad-free, with only occasional pop-ups inviting you to become a ChessCraft Patron. As a patron, you'll enjoy uninterrupted gameplay. If you're a teacher, student, or facing financial constraints, simply send an email to receive a special access code.
