After a long personal tour, which included stops at the Supernationals in Nashville, Tennessee and the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington, Astronaut Greg Chamitoff is taking some well-deserved vacation time.Right now he is visiting Australia - this time up close and personal, instead of from a distance of 210 miles out in space!
But he hasn't forgotten our Washington warriors. His 27th move, 27.a4, has been examined by the club members of the Stephenson Elementary School, and they've come up with two choices for Earthlings to consider: 27...bxa4 and 27...Rb8.
Earth now has until Monday, June 29, at midnight EDT (9 PM PDT), to cast their votes and decide how the game will play out.
