You mean USA. I hate to be "geographically correct" but there could be interest
in computer chess in America (America is what the people in US call "The
Americas"). I said this before, there could be a potential interest for computer
chess in Argentina (remember that Chess Tiger play a tournament there and it was
covered in the main newspapers). Unfortunately, the economical situation over
there now is a complete disaster so we can forget about this dream for a while.

This has been discussed many times, it was agreed long time ago that the ICCA
should organize one event in Europe and then one in North America, but it does
not happen in that way.

Regards,
Miguel
