Yes, a lot of threads do seem to generate only moderate interest, and then die do to an unfortaunate lack of percieved interest. Actually, I think there is a lot of interest, but very few people who have the resourses or experience to carry this facinating stuff off, so they remain silent, rather than take on the burden of 'getting involved'. My own situation for example; I love computer chess, and would like to sponsor some strong player's in matches against these programs, for considerable (well at least reasonable), prize money. Naturally, I'd want be be paid as a director or organizer of such an event too. Unfortaunately, I do not have any money, and right now I live in a place where contacting potential sponsors is not so easy. (except through the Internet perhaps). Once I move back to NYC (where I grew up), I'm willing to try, (at least a little bit), to arrange some kinds of events, and hope to contact and find other's with simular interest in doing such things. I'm very inexperienced in such matters, so I don't expect or really guarantee that these events will actually happen, I can only hope for the best... You've probably noticed that I know quite a few IM's and GM's, but I know very few business people on an intimate enough level, to convince them to invest, which certainly seems to be one of the most important ingrediants to starting to make these things happen, (I hope our friends at ICD and the Marshall Chess Club, will take some interest to proposals I will come up with), and as you must also know, chess player's (even the best ones), are not the most organized group of individuals... All the best, mrslug - the inkompetent chess software addict!
