I have been back on a chess kick and have also gone back to using eboard for my games. It has a nice interface and lets me play diff opensource engines. I have also recently found out that it saves my games as pgn in my home dir. You can also connect and play other users online using FICS (Free Internet Chess Server).

Here is one of my better games of this week (I still lost, but it is better than most). :)
