I couldn't stand not checking the demo so I gave it a try yesterday for a couple
games, but then I uninstalled it because I can't really tolerate the limit to
the amount of moves, and I didn't even think of trying the 3D board because I've
_never_ seen one that was even close to acceptable.

Overall though, I just loved the new interface, big improvements over previous
Chessbase interfaces.  And _I_ didn't experience any trouble useing the demo at
all, I liked it allot.  But sorry, that doesn't answer you question at all, I
only saw the 2D board.
