Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 中國象棋 at 4.0 against 星空暗棋's 3.0. 中國象棋 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). 星空暗棋's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
