Probably Germany has the best chess programs/programmers.  Certainly that's true
per capita.  Then again, I don't know the population of Guadaloupe, so maybe
that island has the lead with one of the world's best programs and a small
population.

Here is a pretty good list of chess programmers:

There are a lot of good programmers in the US now, but I suspect that the total
in Europe is much higher.

I don't think it matters much where they come from.  It is interesting to yammer
on about it once in a while, and I do wonder why that portion of Europe
(Germany/Netherlands/Belgium/Switzerland/CzeckRepublic/Austria/Denmark) produces
so many good ones.

Must be the water.  Can I have a glass?
