I'm hoping it's a LOT easier to learn to read German than to have to write it properly! (Also, my best friend from high school days is German and would be shocked if I suddenly could read his native language.) As for German-only chess stuff, I've seen a lot. ChessBits site, as I recall, plus several other web sites and discussion groups ... and some nice programs I've downloaded, including the UCI-Winboard Adapter (manual) and many others I don't recall at the moment.
