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.
