We recently used Linux to orchestrate a network of more than 2,000 machines from more than 50 countries, in real time, to become the first distributed global network to play a chess game against a single human opponent, setting a world record in the process.

The ChessBrain project is a non-profit distributed computing experiment that harnesses the processing power of remote machines. While ChessBrain is functionally similar to other distributed computation projects such as SETI@home, Folding@Home, and GIMPS, ChessBrain is unique in that it requires results in real time!
