駆け引き

かけ引きがお上手ですね。

You would make a good diplomat.

外交の駆け引きでは、とても彼(かれ)には及ばない。

I am no match for him in diplomatic shrewdness.

いつも真っ向勝負だけでなく、たまには虚虚実実の駆け引きとやらもやってみたいよね。

We have to be ready not only for a straightforward test of strength, but also for a struggle in which every strategy comes into play.
