Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chess ⁺ at 85% against Шахматы's 0%. Chess ⁺ also leads on ratings volume (2.9K vs 3) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Шахматы's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
