I like how you want to start discussion of the complex web of alliances that exist and how its going to play out. I don't like the way you divied up the "sides" though, you seem to have made a lot of assumptions (e.g. Weevil, WB pirates, Shanks). I mean its very black and white and I feel like you lose something when you boil down the groups to their absolute quandraries (also because in chess both sides are equal is size and skill and thats never going to be the case in OP). Thats probably why Im not a huge fan of the chess analogy. That being said this is my favourite topic in the OP universe right now and I love someone else want to discuss it this badly.
