I must say that I liked the looks of the 3D boards a lot, but if (or rather
when) I buy CM9000 I doubt I ever willuse anything but 2D. And I still prefer
the simpler 2D looks of the Chessbase programs. It feels more like the books and
newspaper diagrams I have been reading for a lot of years.
And by the way, why not some screenshoots with possible setups with information
windows as well?

And when can we expect to see CM9000 in the shops in Europe?
