ChessBrainLast active in 2006, this project scored a record as “The World's Largest Networked Chess Computer” by playing a single game against a grandmaster in 2004 (a draw). They offer some papers.
Inspired by SETI@Home, some projects are trying distributed computation over the Internet using volunteered computer time.

What could be more enticing for machine learning? A popular project can attract unprecedented amounts of cheap computer time, making genetic algorithms and other resource-hungry learning algorithms feasible for harder problems.
Few distributed game learning projects have started, but I expect more. The BOINC software platform makes it much easier.
