'chess' is completely broken after F14. Upstream is dead and it needs to
be updated for more recent cegui and ogre. I still hope to do that, but
I haven't had time to work on it for quite a while.

'pychess' was recently orphaned, but might get picked up again.

'knights' is a fairly recent addition.

There could be other ones I am not aware of.

I don't play much chess, so I don't have recommendations for how any of these
fare against each other.

Be aware that Fedora only includes 'free' (freedom) software. Programs
that are commercial or free for noncommercial use, are not 'free' even if
there is no charge for them and will not be included in Fedora.
