The whole METAPHOR of love as a game is cliched. I'm not saying it can't be done, but I'm of the mind that if you do want to take it on, you can't get away with being this explicit.
How about doing it a little more subtly, like writing the poem as a description of two lovers playing chess, and working the love story into the literal game?
