Grizzy

26 September 2011

Downtime in Iraq is usually filled with a myriad of things from watching movies on a computer to writing letters and nearly anything in between. For Sgt. Edwin “Grizzy” Gray, that downtime is often filled with something related to chess. If he’s not playing a game against an actual person, he can often be found playing against the computer. He’s got a few key strategies that come from playing his father, who was a ranking player of some variety in the chess world. In a sense, that’s sort of made him the Bobby Fischer of his unit.

In fact, the running joke is that the questions isn’t “So, playing a chess game against Gray?” it’s more like “Losing a game of chess to Gray?”

Downtime. Iraq. I’m not sure if he was actually playing chess here, though chances are he was giving the computer a run for its money so to speak.
