Big European nations have their nation / city name in chess opening, or at least variant.
Sicilian, Russian, Italian, French, English, Spanish (other name for Rui Lopez), Austrian attack, Yugoslav attack, Dutch...
Do Germans have? Opening definitely not. May be a variant at least? Someone knows?

Check aging blitzer's post, the one to which you replied 'None of those are German '.Not my problem if you cant read.
Oh my....I missed the last line, after the list of openings. Boy is my face red.
That's still no reason for you to be such a jerk about it.
