Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Chess Pals at none against Rock Roller's shown. Chess Pals also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Rock Roller's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (402 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
