Perhaps it is a question of perspective, but it seemed the equivalent of an
event for 'members only' if you wanted to watch live.  Specifically, MS and
chessbase only.  Never read ICGA's charter, but I imagine it would say something
like promoting computer chess - as opposed to promoting commercial computer
chess interests.

This is may be sour-grapes from a non-MS user, but I also recall comments about
it being for those who participated, which is fine of course......
