I don't know Jin so I can't comment on that. I did try eboard some months back
but honestly didn't like it very much. IIRC you can't see the board and the
ICC-window at the same time. There were other things I didn't particularly like
about eboard but this was the major point.

I also had some issues with knights (http://knights.sourceforge.net), but it's
been a while, so I better not comment on that either. :) As for xboard, well..
it works, but that's it. (that is, it's not really a pleasure to use that.. I
wish there would be Arena for Linux)
