Taken from welcome thread:
ChessBrain is a virtual chess supercomputer using the processing power of Internet connected machines.
Our members contribute to ChessBrain by running a small program on their machines which analyzes chess positions for the ChessBrain network. ChessBrain is a perfect project to run alongside any other project as it doesn't use much CPU time (about 5%-10% overall CPU time per day) and the "units" are very small.
If you're interested in joining us, Download and try the client software. There is a community Forum where you can get help, make suggestions and participate in experimental projects. The peerNode client can be run as a Screen saver, Graphical interface or a Command line. An always on Internet connection is required to connect to the Super Node to receive data. Our team name is TEAMANANDTECH (no spaces), your team ID will be the part of your email before the @ sign. We are currently in third place and climbing.
You can learn about the ChessBrain project in the July 2003 issue of the International Computer Games Association Journal and in the September 2003 issue of the Linux Journal. Also, please visit us at the Anandtech DC Forums, and read about all the Anandtech DC projects at Team AnandTech Home Page. Making this all possible: Carlos Justiniano is the founder of Chess Brain, and Colin M. Frayn is the author of ChessBrain's chess capabilities.
I have made a couple of batch files to install ChessBrain as a service on NT/2K/XP.
These files have the Release 20817-08 beta version of the client, and are setup to use my account and peernode monitor (monitor your crunchers here: http://coolkid.no-ip.com), but that can be easily changed in the cbspn.conf file.
I recommend you set the priority to below_normal if you are running this with another project, as CB only uses 5-10% cpu time.
Thanks to Confused for uploading these files to his webhost :beer:
Confused's GUI service installer, Just extract to a temp folder and run Install.exe, and the rest is pretty straight forward: http://www.my105e.com/files/ChessBrain.zip
This one extracts to your temp folder and copies itself into C:\Program Files\Chessbrain (overwriting anything that is there), then installs and starts itself as a service: cbservice.exe
This one is just a zip file with the files in it, you can edit the .bat file for wherever you are installing it: cbservice.zip
Would anyone that uses this, please PM or email me (coolkidperson(at)yahoo.com.au), letting me know if it works on your system or not? Thanks!
I will try and update these files when a new client comes out, or if people are having problems with the installer
Enjoy!
