Which is better, a bishop or a piece of delicious chocolate cake?

On 2nd thought VirtMich ... nevermind.  I guess if you think that guy is dessert, it's fair game.

Forget the man boobs, where did all the cake go? ;)

Actually, I hardly ever eat cake, but I'll give it my best shot. ;)

Will you settle for moobs covered in chocolate sauce and crushed nuts?

Do you like caramel?

Or do you prefer wholesome elegance?

I could go for a piece of this:

And I would enjoy this:

OMG! I don't know what to eat first. Death by chocolate could become a reality. ;)

OK, now I need a bottle of Chablis to wash that lot down.  

Is the bishop made of chocolate cake?

A bishop may be better than an average piece of cake. But I think I'd be willing to give up a bishop for a piece of chocolate torte from La Maison du Chocolat

But if you could mold that cake into the shape of a bishop, and use it as a bishop piece in your next chess game, it would be truly a noteworthy torte reform.

Although bishops aren't meant to be tasty.

Chocolate cakes, much like chessboards, sometimes contain files.

Question: What does a bishop and a piece of chocolate cake have in common?

Answer: Both are a religious experience

Bishop's Pros:
Can checkmate the king!!

Bishop's Cons:
Can't be eaten :(
Is not easy to make (unlike chocolate cake)

Chocolate Cake's Pros:
Can be eaten!!
Is delicious...
You can throw the chocolate cake at your opponent's bishops to knock them down...

Chocolate Cake's Cons:
Is too big for a chessboard...

I'd choose the chocolate cake!!!

Unless you mean I get 3 bishops against my opponent's 2 bishops...then I'd have to reconsider.

It's a toughie. I could certainly go for a slice of moist chocolate cake right about now....

 

However a cake would not be nearly as beneficial on the chessboard as a bishop could be, would it?

Bishop's Pros:

Can checkmate the king

Has beautiful control of the chessboard diagonals

Bishop's Cons:

Is not edible

Isn't there always the case of having one good bishop and one bad bishop?

Chocolate Cake Pros:

Tastes delicious

Goes great with milk

Chocolate Cake Cons:

As others have mentioned, it is prone to forks. :P

Who knows what would happen if you were to leave your board for a few minutes, leaving only your opponent and that delicious-looking cake...
