Heatmap.Chess teaches you to read a chess board the way grandmasters do โ as a map of control, not a list of pieces. EVERY NUMBER IS A THREAT Each square shows how many pieces want to attack it. A "3" means three pieces are converging on that square. Drop your dock pieces in the right places, and every correct placement cools the heat by one. Get all numbers to zero โ puzzle solved. WHAT'S INSIDE โข Hand-crafted themed rooms with graduated difficulty โข Fresh daily puzzles โ keep your streak alive โข Heart system + combo bonuses โข Cross-device sync โ pick up where you left off โข Quiet, focused dark UI built for one hand โข One-time purchase removes ads + unlocks every room SHARPEN YOUR CHESS VISION No openings to memorize, no notation to decode. You start seeing what grandmasters see when they sit down at a board โ the geometry of attacks. A training tool for beginners and experienced players alike. DESIGNED FOR FOCUS No social feeds. No leaderboards screaming at you. Just numbers, pieces, and the small satisfaction of every count dropping to zero.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Othello at none against Heatmap Chess's shown. Heatmap Chess's advantage is iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
