  I haven't participated in this discussion before (though I read it), and don't
want to start it again, but IMO there must be a difference between "I like" and
"it's more convenient". I, myself, would like a live tournament in my town in my
vacation dates. But that's not interesting for most others. In the convenience
equation many things must be considered: number of players, world wide coverage,
safety of games (no cheaters), etc. I don't believe "I like to meet other
programmers" should be part of the equation of a world champs (it is for friends
party, for example).
  I haven't seen so far the equation formulated at all, and don't consider
myself the most adequated to formulate it, but it would be nice to see the ICCA
making a list of objectives and priorities and proposals to maximize the
equation, so that criticism could be more civilizated and logical and productive
among the computer chess community.
  Just my 2 cents.

  José C.
