I haven't seen any good stand-alone chess games for Linux, though I haven't 
looked in a long time.  Everything I've played involves a graphical front-end 
on top of a text based engine like crafty or sjeng.  Crafty is more than 
smart enough to destroy me, though I'm not that good of a player anyway.

It looks like there's a new game in town for KDE called Knights.  It's just 
another graphical frontend for crafty et al. but it's KDE native, and looks 
rather nice.
