Play ChessCraft on PC

Never play the same game of chess again! ChessCraft is a chess sandbox with an AI computer opponent. Customise chess boards, rules, and pieces. Play your creations against a computer opponent, or choose from one of 60 built-in chess boards in adventure mode.

Many chess AI mobile games already exist, but it seems 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. Create new boards with any enabled or disabled tile up to 16x16. Place promotion rules for any piece, anywhere. The computer AI opponent then uses concepts from computer science and graph theory to understand your creations and play against you.

ChessCraft is full and free, 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 cannot afford ChessCraft Patron, send me an email and I'll send you a special code.

The network access permission only helps with debugging and testing, but for regular users is probably never used.

Let me know if you have any feedback or questions. If you like the game, please rate it!
