We had one of these _every_ year from 1970, thru 1994, sponsored by the ACM.

It expanded over the years, from the US computer chess championship, to the
North American computer chess championship, to (finally) the International
computer chess championship.  25 years of them, which ended around the time
Deep Blue came into being...  unfortunately...
