About this game

Never play the same game of chess again! ChessCraft is a chess sandbox with an AI computer opponent. Customise chess boards, rules, and pieces. Share your creations online. Play your friends online, or play the computer, or choose from one of 75 built-in chess boards in adventure mode.

Many chess AI mobile games already exist, but only ChessCraft allows the player to create such wacky boards and pieces and immediately play a decent computer opponent.

Create new pieces with any combination of the 8 bishop or rook slides, plus a 7x7 grid of knight-like hops. Pieces can also enhance or restrict nearby pieces. Create new boards with any enabled or disabled tile up to 16x16. Place promotion rules for any piece, anywhere. Place tile rules like witch windows (teleporters), sanctuaries, and more. The computer AI opponent then uses concepts from computer science and graph theory to understand your creations and play against you.

When you share a board, your friends can play the AI too. Sharing creates a new web page just for you, like this:

ChessCraft is full and free with no ads, except for the occasional popup which asks you to buy ChessCraft Patron. If you become a patron, you won't see those interruptions anymore. If you're a teacher, student, or you cannot afford ChessCraft Patron, send me an email and I'll send you a special code.

Ratings and reviews

This is a very good game! Sure the UI is kinda bad but it's still amazing. I've read the 1 and 2 star reviews and I feel like most of them are wrong. I suggest learning the game before you complain that you got a stalemate. The creation of pieces and boards are really cool. A good idea would be to change how many players can play.

Hello! How do I get gems? I don't see a shop anywhere and the adventure games are taking forever to load now. I'm trying to upload my new game to your app. edit: Every time I try to change the game I created, the file deletes itself or corrupts and I lose all my progress. I think it may have to do with the new update. I can't change anything about EPICHESS right now.

This game is probably the best custom chess system available for now, but there's one problem I'm starting to see, sometimes when I finish making a new board and save it then get an ad for this game, I just ignore it and close the game because I did what I wanted to but when I relaunch it later, the next thing I know: the board I made is gone. So you should probably look into this because needing to replicate and make the board all over again isn't nice, I had to do it like 4 times because of it
