Personally, I agree that it >will be in the US in any of the next 10 years when a sponsor is available. What do we need a sponsor for? As I understand it there is no prize money and people are supposed to pay for traveling and hotels - even bring their own machinery (unless they want to use some outdated P4's). >I know that the ICCA negotiated to hold the event outside Europe in 2004, in >Israel. The money and venue where there, but negotiations folded, as I heard it, >due to an unreasonable demand by the ICCA. What kind of demands kan ICCA possibly make, what do we even need them for? Let's do it on the internet, 200+ winboard engines, dozen chessbase engines, a bunch of UCI engines, Lokasoft, Chessmaster, everybody! No hotels, no playing hall, no nothing, just a server. This is 2003 not 1984, the time of the internet is upon us. -S. >Amir >
