ChessCraft comes from Frame of Mind and is listed under the Board category on Google Play. Its store tagline reads: "Play your chess variants against the AI and your friends online." So far it has been installed 1 Million+ times and carries a 4.4-star average (13K ratings). The latest version (1.17.24) was released on 2026-09-16, so the game is still being actively updated. Good to know: it offers optional in-app purchases and needs about 80 MB of storage.

Description
Never play the same game of chess again! ChessCraft is a chess sandbox with an AI computer opponent. Customize 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. ChessCraft is also the world's largest chess variant database.

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:
