Hey, fellow TeAm-mates!
Chess960@Home has gotten quite a WU boost in the past week or so. Before, it was a fight to get some, but now things seem much better, with WUs being available almost all the time.
As you can see on the Status Page, there was a significant bump on April 10th. Now, with plenty of work to go around, it's a great time to try it out!
The TeAm is currently in 9th place, and we've only got about 10 active members.
From what I've gathered, Chess960@Home is a project to create a database of games for the Chess960 variant of chess. As of yet, not much is known in the way of general principles, and the guys who run Chess960@Home hope a good database of games will speed this along.
Hope to see some of you showing up on the stats soon! This seems like a great project for the slightly older computers, as the WU's are short, and the memory usage doesn't seem too bad. You do need an always-on internet connection, however, since WU deadlines are only 24hr or so. This is because future WUs depend very heavily on previous ones. (IIRC, each WU is a half-move)
