Put your strategic thinking to the test with ChessCraft, the ultimate chess sandbox that lets you play, create, and share unique chess variants against an AI or with friends online. Say goodbye to repetitive games—every match can be a new adventure with customizable boards, rules, and pieces.
Whether you're playing solo against ChessCraft's smart AI or challenging a friend from anywhere in the world, the possibilities are nearly endless. Choose from 75 built-in adventure mode boards or dive into the creative tools to design your own chess universe. With support for custom pieces, teleporters, sanctuaries, and even 16x16 grids, you're only limited by your imagination.
Unleash Your Creativity
Design your own chess pieces using a powerful system that supports combinations of 8 different rook or bishop slides, plus a 7x7 grid of knight-like hops. You can even build modifiers that affect nearby pieces on the board. Create entirely new boards with any tile enabled or disabled up to a massive 16x16 size. Set custom promotion rules, teleportation zones, safe havens, and more—all while knowing that ChessCraft’s advanced AI will adapt and challenge you every step of the way.
Share and Play Instantly
Once you've created your masterpiece, sharing is simple. Each shared design generates a unique web page like this: [ttpp] — allowing your friends to instantly play or edit it themselves. They can also take on your creation against the AI without needing to download anything extra.
