Here are some strong German engines: Abrok Amy Aristarch BlackBishop Bringer Comet Fritz Gromit 3.x Jonny List Little Goliath Patzer Quark Snitch SoS Spike Yace Shredder >- CSS Online only 6 issues of 8 promised and sold?

I think you have a strange notion of weakness/troubles. German computer chess is (for the population size) clearly among the strongest. The current SSDF list has: Rating + - Games Won Av.opp 1 Shredder 9.0 UCI 256MB Athlon 1200 MHz 2821 28 -27 704 67% 2697 2 Shredder 8.0 CB 256MB Athlon 1200 MHz 2805 23 -22 1115 71% 2648 3 Shredder 7.04 UCI 256MB Athlon 1200 MHz 2804 22 -21 1133 69% 2663 4 Junior 9.0 256MB Athlon 1200 MHz 2789 27 -26 745 67% 2666 5 Deep Fritz 8.0 256MB Athlon 1200 MHz 2783 24 -23 942 70% 2633 6 Junior 8.0 256MB Athlon 1200 MHz 2766 24 -24 888 65% 2660 7 Shredder 7.0 256MB Athlon 1200 MHz 2765 26 -25 841 69% 2629 8 Deep Fritz 7.0 256MB Athlon 1200 MHz 2764 24 -23 938 65% 2654 9 Fritz 8.0 256MB Athlon 1200 MHz 2753 21 -20 1206 63% 2659 Looks like most of those are German to me. Of the up-and-comers, I consider Spike to be among the most impressive. So don't pull the fire alarm yet.
