Chess is an excellent board logic game that can train your strategy and tactics. The game is played on an 8×8 chessboard with two players. Each player starts with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The objective is to checkmate the opponent's king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture. With our game you will learn the basics and the best moves thanks to the hint option. You can also select the difficulty level suit to you. Whether you are a beginner or a chess master, you will absorb the knowledge and find the joy of playing chess. Play against the AI or with your friends and develop your skills even without the chessboard. FEATURES: - You can play with your friends! (Two player mode) - Daily Challenge and Classic Chess Puzzles! - Awesome graphics - Customized Board and Chess! - Outstanding AI engine with 10 levels of difficulty - Undo function - Daily Challenge and Classic Chess Puzzles! - Automatic Save Function

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chess at none against Easy Chess ™'s 1. Easy Chess ™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy Chess ™ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Chess asks for nothing beyond the download.
Easy Chess ™ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy Chess ™ has 504 ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Easy Chess ™'s written reviews are positive against 67% of Chess's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Easy Chess ™ ships an update every 13 months, Chess every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
