A mini version of the worlds most popular board game. It may look simple on first sight, but do not underestimate the new tactical complexity of a small board. I created multiple puzzles, achievements and unlockables. When you finish all puzzles you unlock and endless position generator, which allows you to play on forever in randomly generated positions. This app is free and has no ads. We also collect no personal data and the app works completely offline. Thanks for giving it a try! :-).

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Mini Chess 5x4 at none against Chess5x5's shown. Chess5x5's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
