Exactly.
And the engine guys are Duffy and Iverson. Now that I saw the names I recalled it well

Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition: The Art of Learning is still a chess program definitely worth having.
Although the latest version of the King chess engine is quite weak compared to Houdini 2.0C Pro, the King engine can still pass Grandmaster (2550 FIDE Elo) playing strength I think.
But the engine is not only what makes Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition a great chess teaching program. The instructional chapters and excercises in the Academy room is what makes this program so great in my opinion.
International Master Josh Waitskin and GM Larry Christiansen did a pretty good job in explaining chess strategy, the importance of piece mobility (since Chess is limited to only 64 squares, the player who controls the greatest number of squares especially in the enemy territory has the upper hand), the rule of the two weaknesses and the pawn structure and how to play the endgame correctly.
In additon Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition explains why the bishop pair is a powerful strategical combination and how bishops love open games while knights love closed games because knights can jump over pieces.
My chess rating increased by 600 or 700 Elo points after working with Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition.
