Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Openings Mastermind at none against Chess Game's shown. Openings Mastermind also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Chess Game's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
