Not really. xboard provides some very basic functionality, but is not really user-friendly. You can play games on FICS, the Free Internet Chess Server, however you only have the console and a chessboard, which makes seeking opponents and chatting difficult. (AFAIK. If there's more to it, please tell me.) A program that is probably similar in functionality to eboard would be knights, a Qt chess interface. Patrik PS: oops, replied directly instead of to the list.
