In "Rules of the Game" the game of chess is a metaphor for some difficulty in life. In the following part of the excerpt: "In my head, I saw a chessboard with sixty-four black and white squares. Opposite me was my opponent" It is possible to realize that the narrator imagined his opponent, that is, the opponent of the narrator is a part of the narrator's thoughts, then the narrator is in conflict with his own thoughts, which means that the narrator is in conflict with the self.
