The psychological effect of your opponent eating your pieces when they're taken could be interesting. |
|
| |
Hmmm. Smothered mate (smothered in gravy). |
|

(King Edwards vs Sweet Potato for piece contrast?) |
|

I was thinking of those blue/purple potatoes for colour differentiation, but sweet potato, yams, turnips, suedes, even beetroot might all form an effective foundation for a tuber based chess set. |

The alternating squares could have blobs of ketchup on them. |

Egad, this is a winner, zen-tom. I would love to play
chess in the kitchen with someone while making a
huge Sunday meal. While I whittle, they could
muddle. Wonderful. |

You could white castle your burger king. |

The prawns would start to smell after a bit though |

[+] I like the idea, but would prefer all the pieces be edible -- having some wooden/plastic pieces on the board, and some tuber pieces, will surely lead to someone munching on something they oughtn't. |

Just found this. Awesome. [tom], you thought of
this two weeks before my birthday, and yet, where
was it? In fact, you've missed another since, and still
no Chess Chipper in my kitchen drawer! |

Despite your lax approach to invention, this
deserves more bunnage, entonces, here's mine [+] |

What would be properly invented, in this instance would be a more general purpose potato lathe, upon which all manner of tubers could be "turned" to create chess-pieces, miniature bannister-poles, chair-legs, bowls, vases and other such forms. |

Potato Lathe? Spud Whittler. Hang on, wasn't he a C&W star of the 1970s? |
|
| |
When using this device hurriedly to add pockmarks and facial hair to your opponent's queen, and slipping, this would become encarvululation. |
