What do you do when waiting for your next mission out in Afghanistan? Exercise your grey matter, that’s what. And what better way than an improvised game of chess.

“Unless I miss my guesses, the queens are .50 BMG rounds, the kings .50 BMG casings, the rooks 40mm grenade casings, the bishops 7.62mm rounds, the knights taped 7.62mm casings, and the pawns 5.56mm casings. And it looks like the bases are water-bottle caps.”

I am aware that they haven’t been set up correctly, but hey, who cares.
