Hi Michel,

The analysis is 60% Crafty, 30% Tiger, 5% Shredder, 5% Ruffian.

>How are rows to process selected?

Currently main sources for CAP are openings where there are contradictions
between CAP evaluations and other sources (statistics and human evaluations).
As well almost all high rated games are analyzed permanently.

With current power (near 20GHz) we can't do more projects.

Anyway any project can be discussed with more computers.

>I analyze myself 100-200k rows and would like to participate also .. any ways

It is easy to join. I will let you know by e-mail later. Unfortunately my
computer crashed (power supply problem) and I need a day to revive it.

The main question is there real interest say for 100 people (computers) for
making a new step in computer based analysis. If so we will provide all
essential software for the project. I hardly can be organizer of volunters but I
am ready to provide essential technical support for this.

>Is (some) of the data also public downloadable on Dann Corbit's ftp site?
>Can the CAP-client go through a proxy-server (via http port 80 for example)?

Pure data is 5 GB (instead of 200MB in CA tree format). We can consider ways to
make it more public.

Clients can use any port on a computer. HTTP protocol is not used. But I think
that this can be done in a few days if it looks essential.
