Welcome to the Blivion Chess Brain Distrubuted Computing Team web page. If you are not familiar with the Chess Brain project, visit http://www.chessbrain.net This page is dedicated to Blivion Team members and their contributions made to the team as well as the Chess Brain project. However, Chess Brain enthusiasts and peer node operators are also welcome and may benefit from the software and information contained here. Enjoy.

The Blivion CB team is a humble team of professionals that are interested in concepts such as artificial intelligence, distributed computing, and throw in an interest in the game of chess and we have a match. We also enjoy contributing to community efforts, such as many of the great open projects forming and thriving today. Chess Brain, while not yet open source, is a community effort in which hundreds (and soon thousands) of people contrubte to in order to help the project grow and improve. The members of Team Blivion believe it is important to contribute more than just CPU cycles to projects. Offering input, ideas, support, and development help when possible is also key to our team.

In the near future the list of Blivion team members and their contributions will be created and placed here on this team page.

Kris Drent of the Blivion CB Team has developed a Peer Node called CB MOC (Pronounced "See Bee Mock", which is short for the Chess Brain peer node Monitoring Operations Center"). CB MOC allows any Chess Brain peer node operator to keep track of the performance of each peer node in operation. This project is only in it's initial development stage, but CB MOC is already quite functional and very useful. Current features include:
