From the developers who brought you Mr Word and Mr Draughts, Mr Chess is a brilliant implementation of the classic board game. Taking away all the unnecessary stuff, Mr Chess takes you straight into the game you love. There are no menus, not even a start button, you're just straight in. Click the small "i" button to access options, which are 1 or 2 player, and Easy, Medium or Hard (1 player only). You can switch between 1 and 2 player mode at any time and even change difficulty level in the middle of a game (great if you are struggling to beat Mr Chess). Playing against Mr Chess in 1 player mode, Easy level is perfect for beginners. Medium provides a challenge for most normal players, and Hard will defeat all but the best players. Now with Castling! Note, when castling, move your king, and your rook will move automatically. Mr Chess is beautifully designed and very minimalist, in keeping with the Mr Board Game philosophy. Enjoy!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 3D Chess Game at none against Mr Chess's 1. 3D Chess Game also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (76% vs 50%). Mr Chess's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
