I've said it before.  We had a computer chess event here every year from
1970 to 1994.  Overall, interest around the world in computer chess is
nowhere near the level it was prior to the famous 1996/1997 DB matches,
which is unfortunate.

But flying around the world is old news.  The internet is today.  I can
survive with CCT-type events...
