Earth vs. Space Chess Match 2008 
Earth has spoken! We want it all! Rather than engage in
complications, Earthlings have chosen 27...Rb8 in response to Astronaut
Greg Chamitoff's 27. a4. "We're two pawns up ... let's keep it that
way!"
After a long personal tour, Astronaut Greg Chamitoff is taking some well-deserved vacation time.
Astronaut Greg Chamitoff and the Stevenson Chess Stars met on May 21st at Seattle's Museum of Flight for a public celebration of the Earth vs. Space match, which continues with voting this weekend to select Earth's 26th move.
On Thursday, Greg Chamitoff and the Stevenson club members will be at Seattle's Museum of Flight for a public celebration of the match, between 3 and 8:30 PM. If you are in the area, don't miss it!
