WRA - what's the current record?

[willy1]

Does anyone know what the record is we're trying to break?

It looks like the Supernode is reporting over 1000 machines each time it starts sending work - even spiking to 1100 - which is more than we had during phase 2.

I could maybe add another 20 or so tomorrow morning, if it looked like we were really close...

I would be interested in that, too.

I guess it's "playing a chess game with the most computing power / most computers involved" or so Suppose the publish the actual text once it is accomplished.

From the original Press Release about the WRA:

ChessBrain will attempt to establish a world record, for the “Largest number of distributed computers used to play a single game”. The World Record office has confirmation that the event would be a world’s first and pending confirmation, a new world record would be established.

We aren't trying to break an existing record as this hasn't been done before.

Thanks for the info!

I wonder why I haven't found this ...
