What kind of cheese best represents chess?

Cheese and chess share the same letters, and so are, in some sense, similar.  There are many kinds of cheese, and many chess openings. What kind of cheese best represents chess, or which cheese for which opening, and how should the cheese be served and eaten?

You play a game with it and if a piece gets taken you eat it.

I think it was Blackburne,  back in the 1800s,  who played a game with the pawns as shotglasses with whiskey.  Take a pawn,  then drink it.

I can only think of Swiss in connection with chess.  Probably because I get so many positions full of holes!

OK if you're going to make a chess set out of cheese, what cheeses would you use?  I'd suggest swiss or havarti cheese for the white peices (but carving chess pieces out of swiss and avoiding the holes might be tricky), but I'm not sure what I'd use for the dark pieces.  Perhaps a well-aged cheddar.
