Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Coverage Chess at none against 3D Chess Game's shown. Coverage Chess 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 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Coverage Chess holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Chess Game has 3.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
