Hey Everyone,

Can someone recommend me a good Linux chess engine that will help a beginner improve his game?

Me too. If your distro does not include it, look here:

For the graphical interface, I tend to go for eboard:

However Xboard is also an option:

for debian there is a packet called scid which comes with an engine. also crafty fruit and toga2 all work i believe. or if you're adventurous you could try running rybka through wine. your computer might not be happy with you though.

scid is dead. ChessDB is the fork you need to worry about. Very good program.
