The Joys of Eating Wood

Suddenly takes on a whole new meaning:

Chess piece cookie cutters.  They can be found here:

Talk about munching a pawn, huh?

A chess game with such edible pieces sure wouldn't last long.

Mmmmm...cookies.

That is Awesome!!

After capturing a piece it becomes a snack. : )

ADK

I would love to eat my own king if I was hungry.

Haha that's cool.

I would have to say that you really are taking a chance with this type of chess. Just make sure your opponent washes his or her hands after the restroom.

When your opponent says "checkmate", you just eat your King and say "where?".

I think eating your own King is tantamount to resignation.

LOL.  Great answer.

Actually, I disagree.

I do not believe there is a rule in chess that says that if you do not have a king, you lose the game. (Blitz doesn't count!)

I only think you can lose the game if you HAVE a king and it cannot move anywhere.

Thus, I am led to believe that eating your king will make you invincible.

And once all your pieces have been taken, you can claim "stalemate".

Wait -- isn't stalemate when you win using a set that's too old?

drum, drum, cymbal.

No... it's a draw when none of your pieces can move without breaking some rule of chess.

For example, take a chess board, and put the White king on g6, the Black king on g8, and put a White bishop on g7. If it is Black's move, he has no legal moves, so it's called "stalemate".

haha! that made me smile! very cool!

I just realized - is the board edible too!?!?

Wooooshhhh!!!!

haha
