variante

I've heard various ways of expressing this:

"political stage/scene" - very popular with the BBC
"political map"
"political landscape"
"political arena" (which retains the idea of competition/a battle)

As for "political chessboard", I'm not quite so keen on that one and I don't think it's very well established, but it could work as a figurative expression, I suppose.
Peer comment(s):

agree Maria Diaconu : Mă gândeam iniţial la "political chessboard", dar acum îmi place mai mult varianta "political stage". Acum mi-am amintit că şi în română am întâlnit "tabla de şah" :)

Thanks, Maria! I gather the BBC has actually used "chessboard" too - and "Chess" was a musical, after all, so perhaps there's a chess/theatre link to be made here :)

agree Peter Shortall : I've seen this as well, yes - I think it tends to emphasise differences in ideology
