If you want to organise a computer v human chess competition yourself - feel free - go ahead and do it! Once you've got the sponsorship (which shouldn't be difficult - brand name human players vs credible computer opponents attract massive numbers of hits to websites covering the events, as well as newspaper coverage etc), then it simply becomes a test of your ability to organise large events. It's a family game - anyone can have a go. You might usefully try organising a local civic, sports or business event (or even a chess event!) for practise before embarking on the big one, though. -g
