Spanish differs very little from place to place, except for maybe a few words
and local expressions. I am Spanish and I have family in South America, plus
I've been there and spoken to people from every Spanish-Speaking part of
America... with almost no problem whatsoever, both in person and through chats.
In a chat it can take as long as 20-30 minutes sometimes for me to realize that
the person on the other side is not from Spain; in person I can tell but just
because of the accent.
In Spain, the written Spanish is virtually identical everywhere, and also to
that in South America. If you want to learn a very clear and precise
pronounciation, easy for everybody in the world to understand, your best bet in
Spain is the central northern proununciation (such as in places like
Valladolid). By the way, I have a native southern accent, which is quite
difficult for everyone, although I can change it to a more standard one when
needed.
Anyway, what does this have to do with computer chess?  :)
