I would say it is no better or worse than any other computer chess software. It obviously played very strongly. It did some things normal programs can't because it had special-purpose hardware wrapped around it. But to say its eval was poor is wrong. Of course, we can't say a lot about how good it was either since the software has never been made public. Needless to say that overall it was definitely a killer machine.
