Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Basic AI Chess at none against Chess Room's 1. Basic AI Chess also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (6 vs 3). Chess Room's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
