About
Never play the same game of chess again! ChessCraft is a chess AI sandbox. Create your own chess boards, rules, and pieces. Play against the computer or your friends online, or win loot by playing one of 80 built-in chess boards in adventure mode. ChessCraft is also the world's largest chess variant database.
Many chess games already exist, but only ChessCraft allows the player to create such wacky boards, pieces, and rules 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, or other special tile rules. Create pieces that cannot be captured, or with ranged attacks, or pieces that restrict other pieces from acting. The computer opponent then uses concepts from computer science and graph theory to understand your creations and play against you.

A very fun and creative tool for people (such as me) who want to play chess by their own rules. Endless possibilities for making different piece and boards with a wide range of different move sets and rules which are easy to use and understand, along with being able to test it out with a computer opponent and not limiting it to two players. Only complaint is that the AI opponent tends to "stop working" at random points when i first start a game. Other than that if you're a chess nerd, love fairy chess variants, or just somebody who looks to innovate the game in some sort of way, i highly recommend it.
I really enjoy something like this exists! In like 30 min I figured out how to create my own pieces, have a working game and play-test it against the computer. Quickly figuring out I made the pawns way to strong which led to a very slow and boring game. I changed some things for the better and now I have a much more interesting variant! The computer beats me from level 5-7, so I think the difficulty is pretty solid, but for an advanced player it might (?) be a bit weak.
Czym są szachy? Szachy to sztuka poświęcania własnych bierek. W tych bierkach płynie krew. Szu-szu, szu-szu. Serce pompuje krew. Zbijam pionka-słyszę rozrywane mięso. Zbijam figurę-słyszę krzyk z głębi trzewi. Pionek widzi przyjaciół bo bokach i wrogów po drugiej stronie. Król widzi szachownicę inaczej. Najwięksi wrogowie są wokół niego. Każda bierka może zamknąć króla w matni. A wtedy szach i śmierć.
The adventure mode should be updated to showcase all of the new piece mechanics.
