What is ChessBrain?

ChessBrain is a virtual chess supercomputer using the processing power of Internet connected machines.

On January 30th 2004 ChessBrain made history by becoming the first distributed network to play a game against a single human opponent.


Project Status

ChessBrain II is currently under development. The new design aims to be considerably more scalable.

DC Teams

The ChessBrain project is supported by Distributed Computing teams from around the world. We encourage you to learn more about these groups.


CyberArmy
http://www.cyberarmy.net 

CyberArmy is an independent union of Internet users, fighting for a free and independent Internet. We are always seeking additional recruits and invite you to join CyberArmy now!

Through our online promotional system within the Brigades, you can gain officer status in CyberArmy and gain access to various resources and your own views and ideas can further strengthen and expand this online community.

Over the following months, we will be focusing our efforts to re-establish our powerful services to provide you with a next generation CyberArmy. The Readyresponse Distributed Computing Division is involved with many of the distributed computing projects on the net on behalf of CyberArmy.

The Cyberarmy Distributed Computing Forum can be found at: http://www.cyberarmy.net/forum/distcomp/

Information on our current projects can be found at http://www.red-division.org/dist/dist.shtml



Dutch Power Cows
http://www.dutchpowercows.org/
 

Originally set up by a few Dutch tweakers, the Dutch Power Cows have grown tremendously since its creation. We currently participate in over 12 projects and can be found ranked in the top3 of most of them.

Our name was inspired by the icon of the Distributed client :)

Although our name implies we are all Dutch, this isn't so anymore. We have a fair group of Belgiums in our midst and occasionally a foreigner decides to join our ranks.

It is interesting to note that although we live in one of the smallest countries in the world, we are one of the biggest DC teams currently in existence. m0000000h!!

US-Distributed
http://www.us-distributed.com

What does US-Distributed do? *USDC is a distributed computing team that is involved in many DC projects. We originally started out as a Seti@Home team "Team Seti USA" and have been very successful. We decided to expand our support to other projects and created US-Distributed.com

Our goals are to provide information to help those that are interested in distributed computing get started and help others by providing support via our forum. We use the forum as a way to help solve problems, support our teammates and provide technical support on a vast variety of subjects.

Winboard

Winboard is the name of a popular chess communication protocol that allows a chessplaying program to interface with a GUI. It's also the name of the original GUI, but now many other programs support the Winboard protocol. There are nearly 200 Winboard engines and most of them are free!

The Winboard community is a closely-knit group of programmers and computer chess enthusiasts. To learn more about the different Winboard chess engines, visit the WBEC-Ridderkerk homepage. The Winboard community also has its own message board at http://f11.parsimony.net/forum16635

Chess Trivia: Beowulf, the engine that powers the ChessBrain PeerNode, is a Winboard engine.
