Will you be the first to reach the maximum rating of 2,880? Get your three chess pieces in a row and win: all three pieces of the color you are playing lined up horizontally, vertically or diagonally โ on a different row than your start row. The pieces move just like they do on a chessboard. If you or your phone manage to get three in a row, the game is over. You can choose whether you play with white or black. You can have the starting position of the pieces chosen by your phone or you can place them yourself as you want. You can play at eight playing levels. At level one your phone plays random moves, from level three your phone really starts to 'think' and gives you good counterplay. In addition to playing a black or white game, you can also opt for puzzles. You then get a game situation, a challenge that you have to solve. Every game or draw you win earns you credits and rating gains. If you lose, it costs you points. Using hints or taking a move back also costs you credits. After installation you get thirty free games, followed by five free games per day. If you want to play more, you can choose a monthly or an annual subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chess2026 at none against Tic's 2. Chess2026 also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Tic's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
