GNOME Chess – a 2D chess game, where games can be played between a combination of human and computer players. GNOME Chess detects known third party chess engines for computer players.

GNOME Chess is written in Vala and uses GTK+ and Cairo to render the chess board using Cairo/rsvg. GNOME Chess requires a separately-installed chess engine if you want to play against the computer, but your Linux distribution probably installs one for you.

It allows one to play with most existing chess engines, or against a human opponent.
