I do not know about connection between the Turk and chessbase.

The only Turk that I know is some machine in the 18-19 century that a human was
hidden inside it.
As far as I know that machine used not only a strong chess player but
pshychological tricks so if chessbase programmers programmed something that is
called the turk then it is only logical that on purpose they make it harder for
the opponent by pshychological tricks like what you call bad graphic.

My guess is that it is no bad graphic but design decision in case that what was
described here is correct..
