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 earn loot by playing one of the 80 built-in chess boards in adventure mode. There are already many chess games, but only ChessCraft allows the player to create such extravagant boards, pieces and rules and immediately face a decent computer opponent. Create new pieces with any combination of the 8 bishop or rook slides, plus a 7×7 grid of knight jumps. Create new boards with any tile enabled or disabled up to 16×16. Place promotion rules for any piece, anywhere, or other special tiling rules. Create pieces that cannot be captured, or with ranged attacks, or pieces that restrict the action of other pieces. The computer opponent then uses concepts from computer science and graph theory to understand your creations and play against you.
