Not my favorite engine, but dedicated unit from 1988-89, the Mach III.

The ver. I have is the 1989 Designer Mach III model 6113.

This may surprise some, but the Mach III Master announces Mate in 11 in 0:00,
due to the fact its capture and check extensions work perfectly in such
positions. Well in this one, anyways;-)
