Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chess Board app at none against Chess!!'s 1. Chess Board app also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Chess!!'s advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 38%) and rating (4.0 vs 3.7). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
