If you want to cover the plane fare, I'd be delighted!  Seriously, though,
except for 1989, this has never been an option for me, and back in 1989, I
didn't know very much about computer chess, and didn't realize there was a world
championship tournament being held only three hours away from where I lived.
Too bad, really.  (But a big poster from it is still on the wall in the Parallel
Programming lab here at the U of A!)
