Hitech had a tough day, but set a new milestone for computer chess.
In round 8, Hitech drew International Master Michael Rohde, rated
2602, for what we believe is the first draw by a computer against
a titled player in regular tournament play.  In round 9 Hitech
lost to Hungarian Grandmaster Guyla Sax, rated 2769.

Overall Hitech finished with 5.5/9, a respectable score given the
quality of the competition.  The performance rating was approximately
2440.
