I had to look up Chessbase 9.  I suppose you are referring to all of the
database information.  Saved games, famous historical matches, etc.  I was
thinking that how much information gets stored into such a device would be a
later step in the product design.  But if the main display needed to show that
kind of information, that needs to be considered when developing the actual
display.

Thanks for the information.
