Earth vs. Space Chess Match; Chamitoff Makes his Move
Loading...
Uploaded by ReelNASA on Oct 1, 2008
It will be the Earth vs. space in a unique chess match, and you can help Earth win.
NASA and the U.S. Chess Federation (USCF) are teaming up to host the first public chess match between astronaut Greg Chamitoff, in orbit aboard the International Space Station, and the public. Key players in the game, set to begin on Monday, Sept. 29, will be the kindergarten through third grade U.S. Chess Championship Team and its chess club teammates from Stevenson Elementary School in Bellevue, Wash.
The K-3 champions will select up to four possible moves each time it is Earth's turn, and then the public will vote on which move will be made. NASA will transmit the winning move to Chamitoff, who will respond. The USCF will facilitate the match on its web site at:

I have tried to send a message directly to the reel nasa and was blocked until they invite me so I say oh well. Tell me mr. astronaut of what you think about Edgar Mitchell's response to alien life? Also What are thoughts about Drake's equation? If you want to play chess I am game, I am a very storng player so I will not make this easy for you.
