Just go to the German eBay site and search "Schachcomputer". http://search-desc.ebay.de/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&query=Schachcomputer+&srchdesc=y&shortcut=4&ht=1&category1=233&combine=y&st=2 There are usually two pages of chess computers up for bid and the bidding is far more active. Some of the chess computer sets are quite nice. With today's professional translation help available - in fact your probably get volunteers right from here at minimal (read almost zero cost) (beta testers in German CM9K could be promised a free German version upon completion of testing). Just a suggestion. Michael
