Politics.  US has less influence in the governing body.  :)

I wish it was different.  ACM use to sponsor a US Computer
Chess Championship.  I would love to see a North American tournament.
I would love to see MChess pro, Stobar, Crafty, Ferrett and others
battle it out (my opinion would be that any program could enter, just
have the tournament in the US).  Perhaps we could allow GM/IM
participation as well.  :)  Just a thought.  We would need a sponsor.

Best Regards,
