Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Chess at every 4 weeks against 揭棋Online's every 10 months. Chess also leads on ratings volume (6.8K vs 69) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). 揭棋Online's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 46%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
