Spy Chess
Read full descriptionHide full description
Spy Chess takes the game you know and adds a layer of hidden betrayal: before the match begins, secretly select 3 of your opponent's pieces (never their king) to recruit as your spies. Your opponent has no idea which pieces are compromised. Each spy can be revealed exactly once, the moment you do, it flips to your color and you control it for the rest of the game. Reveal too early and you tip your hand; wait too long and the opportunity might slip away. Every match becomes a psychological battle layered on top of the classic one. Play your way - Challenge the AI across three difficulty levels - Play online against real opponents, or invite a friend directly - Chat with friends and track your history with saved, reviewable games Master the classic rules, then master the art of the double agent. Go Pro to remove ads and unlock unlimited online multiplayer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chessgeon at none against Spy Chess's 2. Chessgeon also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Spy Chess's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
