	Correct me if I'm wrong, but assuming that the chess board is 20 inches square, the rice being stacked into a pyrimid 15 inches high, then it only works out to [https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=5.5+x+10%5E14+kg%2F%2820inches20inches15+inches*1%2F3%29 1.7x10^16 kg/m^3], which, according to Wolfram, is dwarfed by the density of a Neutron Star, much less a black hole.
