Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Chess Clock at none against 3D Chess Game's shown. Chess Clock also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). 3D Chess Game's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
