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.
ChessBrain II is currently under development. The new design aims to be considerably more scalable.
The ChessBrain project is powered by Open Source software, including the following key projects.

An early version of the new ChessBrain II will be featured during the keynote presentation at LinuxForum 2005 by ChessBrain founder and co-developer, Carlos Justiniano. The presentation will take place on October 8th 2005 and will focus on how Open Source tools are being used to build distributed computation projects. The LinuxForum BoF (Birds of a Feather) conference in Denmark will include sessions discussing Grid and Cluster computing. |

In preparation for ChessBrain II, we've redesigned the site. The site is being prepared to run under Framewerk, an open source web development framework and application suite and will continue to improve in the coming months.
April 3rd 2005
The ChessBrain software is undergoing a year-long major rewrite. Our next release is designed to be massively scalable running on single processor machines to large compute clusters - and everything in between! For the first time, members will be able to build and operate their own local clusters!

The Open Source msgCourier server is being used to power ChessBrain's highly distributed cluster software.
msgCourier is a server application designed to radically simplify the construction of highly scalable distributed
computing applications. |
