While chess metaphors serve to reinforce the idea of "intellectual game", I very much doubt they are applicable to the number-of-people puzzle, for the simple reason that chess is a full information game. That is, unless it's crazyhouse, but even then the sides are radically different, and in Ep6, concepts are increasingly referred to as pieces and apparently can be created in place -- which starts all the way back in Ep3.
