Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Chess at 4.9 against Minesweeper 2017 !'s 2.0. Chess also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (6.8K vs 1). Minesweeper 2017 !'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
