Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Openings Mastermind at none against Chessish's 1. Openings Mastermind also leads on ads (none vs shown). Chessish's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
