Go play your pinko chess game with the Devil, Commie.
The Soldier turning down a game

The Grandmaster is a promotional headwear item for all classes. It is a team-colored hard hat, with a small chess board attached by a rubber spring and two strips of rubber, which bounce around as the player moves. On top of the chess board, a small device projects a small red bomb hologram on the RED team, and a blue wrench hologram on the BLU team, both of which rotate. As the player's killstreak rises, the hologram projection changes to various chess pieces.

This item is awarded in Genuine quality to players who purchase the Exclusive Team Fortress 2 Chess Set from ThinkGeek or the Valve Store.
