You like to play chess but sometimes you want something...more? Chessed Up is the game for you! You have the same traditional chess pieces, but they are not what they seem: A pawn that can shoot a cannon ball. A knight that can jump to any space on the board. A bishop that can bring back captured pieces. A queen that explodes when captured. A rook that cannot be captured. And way more! There are 12 special pieces beyond the traditional ones, and 6 game modes. As you play more and more, you advance levels and unlock special pieces and game modes.

Voice Chess Play is the chessboard that listens. Speak as you would to a playing partner, "Pawn to e4", "Take it with the knight", "Castle kingside", and the move is played on the board. The computer answers, and the game goes on. PLAY BY VOICE • Natural-language commands: "Knight to f3", "The pawn goes to e4", "Take the bishop", "Promote to queen" • Understands spoken coordinates: "f three", "see six", "b four" • When two pieces can make the same move, the app asks which one you mean instead of guessing • Short spoken replies: the opponent's move, check, checkmate, draw • You can always tap the pieces or type the command instead PICK YOUR OPPONENT • Strength from 200 to 3400 Elo with a slider and presets, from beginner to near-maximum engine • Play as White, Black or random • The computer plays sensible moves for the chosen level, never random blunders NEVER LOSE A GAME • Automatic save after every move, even if you close the app or a call comes in • Resume exactly where you left off • History of all your games with date, color, opponent and result SIMPLE AND CLEAR • Large board with easy-to-read letters and numbers on every side • Interface in English and Italian, following your phone's language • No account, no sign-up, no connection needed to play • Full rules: castling, en passant, promotion, stalemate, threefold repetition, fifty-move rule Great for training board visualization, for playing hands-free, or for anyone who finds it more natural to say a move than to drag a piece. Speech recognition uses the system's services. Microphone permission is needed only to hear your moves; the app keeps no audio. Voice Chess Play è software libero (GPLv3).

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Voice Chess Play at none against Chessed Up's 1. Voice Chess Play also leads on ads (none vs shown). Chessed Up's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price there is nothing between them.
