Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chess Tactics Pro (Puzzles) at 90% against 3D Chess's 41%. Chess Tactics Pro (Puzzles) also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 6). 3D Chess's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
