With augmented reality, you can play the chess within the real world. Whether on a coffee table or a kitchen table, on the beach or in bed. You can play anywhere your phone detects a surface. Play against a friend and or the finely tuned AI with multiple levels of play for fun at any level.  If you are a fan of chess you will love this game. Chess is a strategic board game played between two players. It is played on a chessboard, which is a square-checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. At the beginning of the game each player controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way to remove or defend it from attack on the next move.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tiled at 4.4 against AR Chess+'s 1.0. Tiled also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). AR Chess+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
