In 1981 CRAY BLITZ won the Mississipi State Championship with a perfect 5-0
score and a performance rating of 2258. In round 4 it defeated Joe Sentef (2262)
to become the first computer to beat a master in tournament play and the first
computer to gain a master rating (2258).

Sorry Mr. Hyatt, but you have to admit it, crafty still have some old ideas from
your original CRAY BLITZ project :-)
