Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Mini Chess 5x4 at none against 3D Chess Game's shown. Mini Chess 5x4 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). 3D Chess Game's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
