Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mynesweeper at none against The Queen's Gambit Chess's 1. Mynesweeper also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). The Queen's Gambit Chess's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
