Welcome to Manhattan Chess Masters, and thanks for joining!

Let's make this group as great as possible!

I'm playing a tourney, and I'm losing hard and fast against this one player. She's already creamed me once. This is the board set-up as it currently stands; it's my move (I play white). IS THERE ANY WAY FOR ME TO STILL WIN THIS ONE, OR DID I TOTALLY BOTCH IT? THANKS, ERIN W.

THE AUSTRALIAN DEFENSE OPENING (A40) VOTE CHESS TEAM CHALLENGE Manhattan Chess Masters is currently engaged in VOTE CHESS and, per-usual, I am the only member of our team currently involved. Australia's Big Boys -- a chess group hailing from (you guessed it) Australia, is currently engaged in two team challenges with our group. Registration is currently open for the TEAM CHESS MATCH between our group and theirs, and TEAM VOTE CHESS has just officially started; if I'm not mistaken, it isn't yet too late for you guys to join the Vote Chess and show off your mad-skills. The Team Vote Chess (since we challenged a group of Aussies) aptly and naturally begins from the Australian Defense opening (A40). The Vote Chess game will begin with white (which we play) to move from the opening position as depicted in the diagram below. ~~ GAME SPECS AND LINK TO SITE BELOW ~~ A new Team Vote Chess game has started!
