Both crafty and gnuchess are strong programs -- crafty is probably the
stronger.  Crafty has built-in SMP support.  For a graphical
interface, you'll need xboard.  On a fast computer, Crafty is going to
play Master strength; gnuchess will play a strong Expert class game.
Crafty is developed on a linux box.

ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu /pub/hyatt for crafty
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu /gnu for gnuchess

for xboard:

I may as well mention also that xboard can be used as a client for
logging onto the chess servers, either chessclub.com (ICC) or
freechess.org (FICS), if you prefer playing against human opponents.
