Subject: Head to Head Chess
Carl -

I am no Linux Chess expert (yet) - But I think http://www.freechess.org/ might be what you need.

It also looks like http://www.chessclub.com/ might have free parts to it.

And of course, http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=2510 gives a great summary about Chess and Linux.

Good luck!
