In its day it was quite strong but, even better, its GUI was superior to any other PC chess app's, by far. The ChessMachine of 1990 (guesstimate of the year) had a much better GUI than the much more recent, latest version of MChess Pro (for example), IMHO. Also it came with two separate "engines" and the one that was thrown in as the extra one turned out to be a little stronger than the "main" one, IIRC. (I guess the extra one grew up to be TheKing that's in ChessMaster these days.)
