I can't see anything on KC today.  No board, no moves, no nothing.

I think, in the case of the ICCA, that one of the problems is that none of
the organizers are actively involved in computer chess any longer.  IE when
you are competing, or are active, your interest level is higher.  I organized
one of the ACM events many years ago, and spent a lot of time because I was
also going to be a participant, and wanted everything to go smoothly.
