Да, есть программа Gnome Chess (glChess), которая раньше входила в состав набора игр Gnome Games. Gnome Chess — это графическая оболочка для различных шахматных движков (например GNUchess или Crafty) и в ней тоже есть трёхмерный внешний вид шахмат, правда не такой красивый как в DreamChess.

По умолчанию, DreamChess использует собственный шахматный движок Dreamer, но кроме него можно использовать и другие, дополнительно установив их.
