This year the Fredkin event was an invitational tournament which
consisting of 8 human Pittsburgh Masters (10 exist, and two declined to
play) and Hitech, the North American Computer Chess Champion.  The round-
robin tourney was held in Pittsburgh over a series of week-ends.  The final
cross table is below.  It is of interest in evaluating this result to note
that all humans were well prepared for the computer, knowing when they
would play it and having seen quite a few of its games.  This has in past
Fredkin events led to computers performing about 200 points below their
present rating.  Further, Martinak, who in two previous Fredkin events
scored 4.5 to 0.5 against the likes of Cray Blitz, Belle, Nuchess and
Duchess lost to Hitech.  Hitech's performance rating from this event
was 2443, and its actual rating should go to 2309 after this event is
recorded.
