As requested, a three sentence explanation of: what is the conflict and how is it resolved:
The conflict is between society (Black and White) and the government (the Watcher), the media (the cameras and the news) and the laws (the books). Black and White are friends who are simply trying to play their game, in ignorance of all the factors which are influencing their lives (the chess game). When they notice the interference of the government and try to take action they are subdued by political posturing and lies to the point that, as we see at the end, they again become ignorant of the factors influencing their lives.
