It is a chess app designed to be enjoyed with immersive 3D presentation. It supports matches against the CPU as well as local two-player play, with camera effects that make each move easier to follow. You can customize the look with different themes and piece sets, and in Blind Chess mode, games can be played entirely through voice input and spoken feedback. With support for both Japanese and English voice guidance, as well as voice packs, it offers a chess experience that can be enjoyed through both visuals and audio. Voice guidance is also available in regular matches. Follow both sides’ moves and player turns with spoken guidance, or choose CPU Voice to hear your opponent announce its moves and react to checks and results while you view the board.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Azchess at none against Blindmate Chess's 8. Azchess also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
