I'm interested in coordinating an effort to build the next world-champion chess program. FPGA technology has advanced since Deep Blue's construction such that replicating its architecture is now inexpensive. All you need is a cluster guy (me), a pile of FPGAs (corporate sponsor), someone who knows how to route a board evaluation chip, and someone interested in building a message-passing chess program which uses the board evaluation chips as an accellerator. In the tradition of Deep Blue, I'm fairly clueless about chess. Unlike Deep Blue, I plan on making this engine available for more than just a few games, so that its behavior can be studied. If you are interested in this project, please drop me email. I'm especially looking for a person/group seriously interested in constructing the overall program. I can provide the cluster & support, find the FPGA corporate sponsor, and find someone to route the chip. -- greg
