Any Linux users out there a fan of Chess? I'm interested in finding a good online chess game that will run in Linux. It would be nice if it also had a good AI for single player mode so that I could practice :p. What do you guys use? I'm not interested in chess games that you play through your browser such as Yahoo Chess.

gnuchess is better than me. I haven't looked into multi-player clients, though.

I don't know of any that are player-vs-player.

Does anyone remember the old Chess game for the Commodore 64? It was a cool game. Seems like a million years ago though!

I recently tried to play online chess. I gave it a shot with three games in a row and even on a basic level the computer was able to crush me.
