Does that mean that Ubi Soft isn't planning to distribute CM9K into german speaking countries at all, currently? This may put Santa into trouble, or I have to issue a second version of my wish list. :o)) It's not available i.e. in Vienna, or from regional online shops, yet. Maybe you can make them understand that they can sell the *english* versions too, in germany etc. They are distributing a lot of other computer games here... I really don't understand the problem. The shops will put it on the shelves like anything else the truck drops, and Chessmaster is such an well known brand that I wouldn't expect much less sales just because the box isn't translated. The program itself wasn't translated anyway, most often in the past; CM customers are used to it. (Missing german docs may be a minor problem though, at least for new CM users or "non-freak" people. :o) Maybe that's why they hesitate at Ubi Soft.) Regards, Mike Scheidl
